Helpful local rule
Check the transfer-tax details for the property
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, so ask the closing professional to confirm the figures for the property’s actual county and city.
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs, including the Illinois state, county and city transfer taxes. That does not pay your mortgage, liens, back taxes, or share of current property taxes; those are separate items.
