Check transfer taxes for the property’s actual location
For a taxable Illinois transfer, the state tax is 50 cents for each $500 of taxable value, or part of $500. A county may add 25 cents per $500, and some cities impose their own transfer tax. On $100,000 of taxable value, the state tax alone is $100; if the county tax applies at that rate, the combined amount is $150 before any city tax. Exemptions and the transaction’s taxable value can change the amount.
Ask the closing or title professional to calculate the tax and confirm which county and city rules apply to the property. 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 your share of current property taxes.
