Information maintained by the Legislative
Reference Bureau
Updating the database of the Illinois Compiled Statutes (ILCS) is an ongoing process.
Recent laws may not yet be included in the ILCS database, but they are found on this site as Public
Acts soon after they become law. For information concerning the relationship between statutes and Public Acts, refer to the
Guide.
Because the statute database is maintained primarily for legislative drafting purposes,
statutory changes are sometimes included in the statute database before they take effect.
If the source note at the end of a Section of the statutes includes a Public Act that has
not yet taken effect, the version of the law that is currently in effect may have already
been removed from the database and you should refer to that Public Act to see the changes
made to the current law.
770 ILCS 50/1
(770 ILCS 50/1) (from Ch. 82, par. 47a)
Sec. 1.
Every person expending labor, services, skill or material
upon or furnishing storage for any chattel at the request of or with the
consent of its owner, authorized agent of the owner, or lawful possessor
thereof, in the amount of $2,000 or less, shall have a lien upon such
chattel beginning upon the date of commencement of such expenditure of
labor, services, skill, or materials or furnishing of storage, for the
contract price for all such expenditure of labor, services, skill, or
material, until the possession of such chattel is voluntarily relinquished
to such owner or authorized agent, or to one entitled to the possession thereof.
For the purposes of this Act, a person, other than a driver or a person
otherwise in control of a fire, police, emergency or public utility vehicle
on official business, consents to removal by towing of his or her vehicle
when he or she without authorization parks such vehicle upon private property
while having notice that unauthorized vehicles will be towed from such property
by the owner of such property, or agent thereof, at the vehicle owner's
expense, where such notice is provided pursuant to State law, local
ordinances or regulation by any state or local agency. Such notice must
include a sign of at least 24 inches in height by 36 inches in width posted
in a conspicuous place in the affected area at least 4 feet from the ground
but not more than 8 feet from the ground. Such sign shall be either
illuminated or painted with reflective paint, or both and shall state the
amount of towing charges to which the person may be subjected. However,
the requirement of the sign provided for in this section shall not apply to
residential property which, paying due regard to the circumstances and the
surrounding area, is clearly reserved or intended exclusively for the use
or occupation of residents or their vehicles.
The lien established herein shall also apply to labor, services, skills
or material upon or furnishing storage for towed vehicles performed by any
relocator or any other towing service pursuant to the order of a law
enforcement official or agency in accordance with Sections 4-201 through
4-214 of The Illinois Vehicle Code. The lien created herein shall be valid
even though the towing and storage is performed without the vehicle owner's consent.
