Illinois transfer-tax rules
State and local transfer taxes
For a taxable transfer, Illinois charges 50 cents for each $500 of taxable value, or part of $500. A county may add 25 cents for each $500, and some cities impose their own transfer tax. The state tax alone is $100 on $100,000 of taxable value; with a county tax at that rate, it is $150 before any city tax. Exemptions and the transaction’s taxable value can change the amount.
The property’s actual county and city determine which local taxes apply and who is responsible. When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs, including the Illinois state, county and city transfer taxes. Mortgage balances, liens, back taxes, and your share of current property taxes remain separate.
