HOA question

What is the name of your state? What is the name of your state? Illinois

I am in a HOA. In the bylaws, we are not allowed to put up a shed. To make a long story short, we put up a shed and the HOA is now talking about enforcing fines on people who break the rules. Can they legally enforce fines if there are no fines listed in the bylaws?

And if I do not pay the fines, would they be able to put a lein on the house?
