## What do you think? Question:

![Illinois_Condo_Association_charing_too_many_assessment_fees_021215](http://www.condoassociation.com/hs-fs/hub/504/file-2478715023-jpg/images/Illinois_Condo_Association_charing_too_many_assessment_fees_021215.jpg)

Assessments in my Illinois Condo Association have recently skyrocketed. When I inquired regarding a recent 10% amenities assessment, I was informed that this was to cover heating, insurance, roofing, and other basics.

Thus, the Board has somehow broadened the definition of an ‘amenities’ assessment to cover basic services that should be covered in our regular assessment fees.

As condo owners, what is our recourse?
