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 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 taxable value can change the amount, and the property's actual county and city determine local taxes and who is responsible for them.
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs, including the Illinois state, county and city transfer taxes. Your mortgage, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes remain separate.
