Helpful Illinois rule
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 tax. Exemptions, taxable value, the property’s actual county and city, and the transaction can change the amount and who is responsible.
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 are separate.
