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.

Sec. 11-15-1.

The corporate authorities may provide, by ordinance, that any
map, plat, or subdivision of any block, lot, sub-lot, or part thereof, or
of any piece or parcel of land, shall be submitted to the corporate
authorities, or to some officer to be designated by them, for their or his
approval. In that case no such map, plat, or subdivision shall be entitled
to record in the proper county, or have any validity until it has been so
approved. If any municipality has adopted a subdivision ordinance pursuant
to Division 12 of Article 11 of this code, as heretofore and hereinafter
amended, all subdivision plats shall be submitted for approval and
approved in the manner provided in such ordinance. Until approved by the
corporate authorities, or such officer designated by them, no such map,
plat or subdivision plat shall be entitled to record in the proper county,
or have any validity whatever.
