Please take note of the Governor’s proposed legislation that will take control away from municipalities. “On February 18, 2026, Governor JB Pritzker proposed the “Building Up Illinois Developments” (BUILD) plan in his State of the State Address and State Budget Address, which represents a significant and broad preemption of local authority for land use and zoning for both home rule and non-home rule municipalities statewide; and the BUILD plan proposes sweeping statewide zoning mandates including minimum lot sizes, mandated increases in residential density allowances, legalization of accessory dwelling units, limitations on minimum parking requirements, authorization of third party plan reviewers and building inspectors, and creation of a statewide formula governing impact fees, each of which is filed in seven separate pieces of legislation before the Illinois General Assembly (HB 5626, SB 4060, SB 4061, SB 4062, SB 4063, SB 4064, and SB 4071).” If passed this could negatively impact property values, health and safety, infrastructure, impact fees and much more.
