Illinois transfer-tax basics
For a taxable transfer, Illinois charges 50 cents for each $500 of taxable value, or part of $500. A county can add 25 cents for each $500, and some cities impose their own transfer taxes. Exemptions and the transaction’s taxable value can change the amount; the property’s actual county and city determine which local taxes apply.
Ask the closing professional to identify the property’s tax jurisdictions and show the applicable transfer taxes and exemptions. When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs, including the Illinois state, county and city transfer taxes. This does not pay your mortgage, liens, back taxes, or share of current property taxes.
