Illinois transfer-tax facts
Confirm the transfer tax for the property’s actual city and county
For a taxable transfer, Illinois charges 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 taxes. Exemptions and the transaction’s taxable value can change the amount, so the state tax alone may not be the full local total. Ask the title company to confirm which taxes apply to this address and how the transaction allocates them.
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 balance, liens, back taxes, or your share of current property taxes.

What sellers say about USA Home Buyers
Here's what sellers have said about working with us.
“My husband retired from the Illinois State Library after thirty-one years. We'd talked about moving to Florida for years. The house in North Glenwood was fine — just bigger than we needed. USA Home Buyers gave us a fair offer. We closed in eight days and were in Sarasota before the weather turned cold.”
“I owned a rental on Maywood Drive for six years. Fine until the tenant stopped paying and started subletting to three other people I had never approved. Code enforcement showed up twice. USA Home Buyers bought it with the tenants still inside. I didn't have to do a single eviction filing. Nine days from first call to closing.”
“I'm a state employee — when my position got transferred to Chicago, I had about six weeks to sort out my house on the south side of Springfield before I needed to be up there. I didn't have time for showings, inspections, or waiting on a buyer's mortgage. USA Home Buyers gave me a written offer within 24 hours and we closed in ten days.”

Lincoln and Logan County resource questions
Which Logan County contact handles value, taxes, deeds, or a court judgment?
For assessed value, start with the Logan County Assessor. For property-tax information, use the county inquiry portal and confirm an unpaid balance with the responsible tax office. For a recorded deed or county seller-record question, use the Clerk and Recorder links above. A court judgment is a separate court-record question: check the court and case information on the notice, or ask a title professional to connect the record to the property.
How are Illinois real-estate transfer taxes figured?
For a taxable transfer, Illinois charges 50 cents per $500 of taxable value, or part of $500. A county may add 25 cents per $500, and some cities impose their own tax.
