Transfer Taxes and Yorkville Real Estate Transfer Requirements

• Illinois state and county transfer taxes. The seller customarily pays these ($1.50 per $1,000 of value) at closing based on the final sale price.
• Yorkville municipal transfer tax. Yorkville currently does not have a local transfer tax stamp requirement. However, we strongly advise sellers to verify this with the Village Hall or their attorney before closing.
• Final water reading. Yorkville requires a final water meter reading. You must coordinate with the Yorkville Billing Department to ensure all utility balances are paid in full to obtain a clear final bill for closing.

Yorkville Inspections and Point-of-Sale Requirements

While some Kendall County municipalities have strict point-of-sale inspections, Yorkville's requirements are more focused on compliance and safety.

• Municipal resale inspection status. The City of Yorkville does not currently require a general "point-of-sale" home inspection for single-family residences. Sellers should verify this status as local ordinances can change.
• Permit-related inspections. The city may require final sign-offs on any open building permits (for decks, basements, or roofs) before a clear transfer can happen.
