CAM Management Companies in Illinois
Licensing per the Community Associations Institute 2025 CAM licensing report. The fee range is a published national figure, not a Illinois measurement.
Illinois Boards operate under 765 ILCS 605 (Condominium Property Act). Illinois requires community association managers to be licensed through IDFPR, with 20 hours of pre-license education. The local term for the association is condominium association, and for the professional running it, licensed CAM — language worth matching when you write your RFP, because it signals to bidders that the Board knows its own regime.
