Management scopes in Bartlett tend to be written tightly, which makes the ancillary fee schedule — not the base fee — the line that separates two otherwise similar proposals. Bartlett sits 6 miles from Elgin, well inside the radius almost every company in that market already serves. In practice a Board here draws on the whole Elgin field, which is why fee quotes in Bartlett track the metro rather than the town.

Boards in Bartlett searching for new management usually start from one of two places: a fee that has escalated past what the work is worth, or a service failure that has gone on too long. BoardMatch collects written proposals against one normalized scope so both questions can be answered with the same document.

Every management company whose declared service area reaches Bartlett is invited when a Board here opens a search, and none of them can pay to be first.
BoardMatch is not a directory.

We do not rank Management Companies on this page, and we do not publish a list of them. A list tells you who bought the listing. It does not tell you what a company would charge your association, what it includes, who your manager would be, or how many other communities that person carries.

Instead, companies serving Bartlett bid privately against your scope. You describe your community once, qualified firms submit written proposals in the same format, and you get one comparison with a three-year cost projection. No company can pay for placement, and none of them gets your phone number until your Board asks.

What management costs around Bartlett

A regional benchmark banded by community size, with the band Bartlett actually skews to marked.

At the size most Bartlett communities are — 100 to 249 units — the regional benchmark works out to $14–$18 per unit per month, or about $2.5k–$3.1k a month. That is a modelled figure for Illinois, not a measurement of Bartlett, and it is a starting point rather than a target: the proposals your own Board collects are the real number, and the spread between the highest and lowest is usually wider than Boards expect.

Community sizeTypical per unit, per monthMonthly, at that size
Under 100 units $17–$21 $1k–$1.3k
100 to 249 units most common here $14–$18 $2.5k–$3.1k
250 to 499 units $12–$16 $4.5k–$5.6k
500 units and up $10–$13 $7.4k–$9k

Regional benchmark for Illinois, banded by community size. A modelled range built from published industry figures, not a measurement of Bartlett. Published industry ranges compiled from HOAManagement.com and iPropertyManagement fee guides, 2026.

Communities around Bartlett most often land between 100 and 249 units, which is the band where portfolio management is still the norm but on-site or part-time staffing starts to be worth pricing. It is worth asking every bidder to quote both ways. This is also the size at which the ancillary fee schedule — collection actions, resale and estoppel certificates, extra meetings, mailings — starts to move the three-year total more than the base fee does.

At Bartlett's typical size, ask every bidder to quote portfolio and part-time on-site side by side. The gap between those two numbers is the single most useful thing a Board here learns. Illinois licenses community association managers, so a license number is checkable — ask for the individual's, not just the firm's, and check it before the interview rather than after.

Where those numbers come from

We publish market-level fee data only where we have enough verified proposals to stand behind it. Until then, here is what the published industry sources say nationally.

How deep the field is in Bartlett

Worth knowing before your Board sets expectations on how many proposals arrive.

Bartlett sits in Kane County, alongside 10 other markets BoardMatch publishes. Recording, statutory deadlines and — in some states — inspection requirements are administered at the county level, which is why a company already working in Kane usually knows things a company an hour away does not.

The nearest markets BoardMatch publishes are Hanover Park (2 mi), Streamwood (2 mi) and South Elgin (5 mi). 12 published markets sit within 25 miles of Bartlett, so a company quoting here is almost certainly quoting there too — which is worth knowing, because a firm that is thin on capacity in one of them is thin on capacity in all of them. By population Bartlett is the 2nd of 11 markets we publish in Kane County, behind Elgin — which matters because a company that has built its Kane presence around the largest community in the county is not automatically the right fit for the 2nd.

We estimate 60 community associations in and around Bartlett. That is a modelled figure, not a register, and we show it so a Board can judge whether a thin field here reflects the market or reflects how few companies have declared coverage yet.

Illinois rules that apply here

The short version. The full statute, notice rules and licensing detail are on the Illinois pages.

What things are called here

In Illinois the governing body is a condominium association and the person running it day to day is a licensed CAM. Proposals from companies that work here use those words; one that does not is usually a company entering the market rather than operating in it.

Questions Boards in Bartlett ask

How much do Management Companies charge in Bartlett?

We do not have enough verified proposals in Bartlett to publish a local median, and we will not estimate one. The regional benchmark above puts a 100 to 249 units community in Illinois at about $14–$18 per unit per month — roughly $2.5k–$3.1k a month at that size — and that is a modelled figure for the region, not a measurement of Bartlett. Nationally, published industry sources put community association management at $10 to $20 per unit per month, rising to about $50 for premium or full-service arrangements, with onboarding fees anywhere from $2,000 to $30,000. Your actual number depends on unit count, service scope, and how much sits outside the base fee — which is exactly what a competitive round answers.

How many companies will actually bid in Bartlett?

Bartlett is 6 miles from Elgin, and Management Companies work in radii rather than city limits, so the practical field here is set by who will drive it. The live number at the top of this page is how many have declared coverage of Bartlett today. Where a field is thin we say so in your report rather than presenting two proposals as a market survey.

Is a license required to manage an association in Illinois?

Illinois requires community association managers to be licensed through IDFPR, with 20 hours of pre-license education. Illinois licensing in detail

Why don't you list Management Companies on this page?

A ranked list is the product every other site in this category sells, and the ranking is usually for sale. We take no advertising and no company can pay for placement. Why we work this way

How do we compare proposals that are quoted differently?

A per-door quote, a flat monthly quote and a percentage-of-budget quote describe three different things, and cannot be compared as written. BoardMatch normalizes all three and projects three years of total cost. How the comparison is built

Will companies start calling us, and what does this cost?

No calls: a company sees your scope and never your name, phone or email until your Board asks. Nothing at any stage for Boards — the company a Board selects pays one match fee. Pricing

Compare clearly. Choose confidently.

One intake form, about eight minutes. Written proposals in one format, a three-year cost projection, and no company gets your phone number until you ask.
