Will County and Local Municipal Transfer Taxes

When selling in Illinois, transfer taxes are a standard part of the closing costs. While Will County does not currently impose a county-wide transfer tax on sellers (unlike Cook County), the State of Illinois tax still applies, and some municipalities within Will County may have their own requirements.

Illinois state transfer tax. Illinois charges $0.50 per $500 (or $1.00 per $1,000) of the sale price. In most Will County transactions, this state tax is customarily paid by the seller.
No general "Will County" transfer tax. Unlike Cook County, Will County generally does not add a separate county-level transfer tax stamp fee for residential sales, though standard recording fees for deeds still apply.
Local city or village requirements. Some municipalities may require local transfer stamps, point-of-sale inspections, water readings, zoning sign-offs, or other compliance steps.
Check your municipality’s rules. Before you list, confirm whether your city or village requires a transfer stamp or a pre-listing inspection (occupancy permit). Your attorney and title company can provide the most current information for your specific address.
Coordinate early to avoid delays. Make sure the contract clearly states who pays what and let your attorney and title company begin any municipal process well before closing day.

As a flat fee MLS seller in Will 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 local municipal requirements are handled correctly.
