DuPage County and Local Municipal Transfer Taxes

When you sell in DuPage County, transfer taxes are generally simpler than in Cook County, but local municipal requirements still apply. In most transactions, you need to account for the Illinois state transfer tax and any local city or village transfer stamps.

Illinois state transfer tax. Illinois charges $0.50 per $1,000 (of the full value) to the seller (the buyer pays an additional $0.50 per $1,000). This state tax applies to all property sales.
No general "DuPage County" transfer tax. Unlike Cook County, DuPage County generally does not charge a separate transfer tax stamp fee based on sales price, though standard recording fees still apply.
Local city or village transfer taxes. Many DuPage County municipalities (such as Naperville, Aurora, Wheaton, Bolingbrook, Woodridge, Bartlett, Carol Stream, Addison, etc.) may have their own local transfer tax stamps or requirements. These may be paid by the buyer, the seller, or split, depending on local custom and ordinance.
Check your municipality’s rules. Before you list, you should confirm whether your city or village charges a local transfer tax and what forms are required. Your attorney and title company can provide the most current information for your specific address.
Coordinate early to avoid delays. Many municipalities require final water readings, zoning or inspection sign-offs, or a “no debt owed” letter before issuing tax stamps. Make sure the contract clearly states who pays what and let your attorney and title company begin the transfer tax process well before closing day.

As a flat fee MLS seller in DuPage County, you remain in control of your sale. We help you understand typical local practices and encourage you to work with your attorney and title company to make sure municipal requirements are handled correctly for your city or village.
