Transfer Taxes and Roselle Real Estate Transfer Requirements

When you sell a home in Roselle, you will typically see Illinois state and DuPage County transfer taxes. As of current regulations, the Village of Roselle does not charge a municipal real estate transfer tax stamp, but sellers must settle all final utility obligations.

• Illinois state and county transfer taxes. The seller customarily pays these at closing ($1.00 per $1000 for state and $0.50 per $1000 for county).
• Roselle Municipal Requirements. While there is no local transfer tax, sellers must obtain a final water reading and pay any outstanding balances before a real estate transfer can be finalized.
• Final water reading. Contact the Village of Roselle Finance Department at least one week before closing to schedule your final reading.

Roselle Inspections and Point-of-Sale Requirements

The Village of Roselle currently does not require a mandatory point-of-sale or "presale" home inspection for single-family residences. However, sellers should always confirm current village ordinances before listing.

• No Municipal Resale Inspection. Unlike some neighboring towns, Roselle does not typically send a village inspector through the home prior to sale.
• Permit-related inspections. If you have done recent work (basement finishing, decks, etc.), ensure all permits are closed out and have received final sign-offs from the Building Department.
