65 ILCS 5/ Illinois Municipal Code.

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.

(65 ILCS 5/11-11-1) (from Ch. 24, par. 11-11-1)

Sec. 11-11-1.

The corporate authorities of each municipality have the
following powers: (1) to acquire by purchase, condemnation or otherwise any
improved or unimproved real property the acquisition of which is necessary
or appropriate for the rehabilitation or redevelopment of any blighted or
slum area or any conservation area as defined in Section 3 of the Urban
Community Conservation Act; (2) to remove or demolish sub-standard or other
buildings and structures from the property so acquired; (3) to hold or use
any of such property for public uses; and (4) to sell, lease or exchange
such property as is not required for the public purposes of the
municipality. In case of sale or lease the provisions of Sections 11-76-1
through 11-76-3 shall govern except when such sale or lease is made to a
public corporation or public agency, and except when the municipality is
the Local Public Agency under an urban renewal project as defined in
Section 11-11-2. Where a municipality is such a Local Public Agency the
corporate authorities thereof shall have the same powers, and be subject to
the same conditions, restrictions, limitations, penalties and definitions
of terms, and employ the same modes of procedure in the conveyance of real
property as are prescribed in Sections 15, 16, 17, 18 and 19 (except
omitting the provision requiring reimbursement of any public utility by the
purchaser) of the "Urban Renewal Consolidation Act of 1961", approved
August 15, 1961, as the same are now or may hereafter be amended, as
fully as if provisions contained in said sections of the "Urban Renewal
Consolidation Act of 1961" were set forth herein, except that the term
"Department" as therein used shall, as applied to such municipality, mean
the municipality as Local Public Agency. In case of exchange of property
for property privately owned 3 disinterested appraisers shall be appointed
to appraise the value of the property exchanged and such exchange shall not
be made unless the property received by the municipality is equal to or
greater in value than the property exchanged therefor, or if less than such
value the difference shall be paid in money. For the purposes of this
section, "blighted or slum area" means any area where buildings or
improvements, by reason of dilapidation, overcrowding, faulty arrangement
or design, lack of ventilation, light or sanitation facilities, deleterious
land uses, or any combination of these factors, are a detriment to public
safety, health or morals, and an area of not less in the aggregate than 2
acres has been designated by ordinance or resolution as an integrated
project for rehabilitation or redevelopment.

This amendatory Act of 1971 does not apply to any municipality which is
a home rule unit.
