What Chicago requires to sell in Dunning
Every location has its own point-of-sale rules, and missing one can delay a closing. Here's what Dunning sellers need to know — handled for you, up front.
Transfer tax — split with the buyer
Chicago's transfer tax is shared: the buyer pays the $7.50 per $1,000 city portion, and you pay the $3.00 per $1,000 CTA portion. With state and county tax, your total is $4.50 per $1,000 — already built into your net estimate above.
Water Full Payment Certificate
Before the sale can record, the City requires a Full Payment Certificate confirming the water/sewer account is paid current, from the Department of Water Management. We start this early.
Heating cost disclosure
Chicago requires sellers to give the buyer a heating-cost disclosure for the home's prior heating expenses — a quick step we handle as part of your closing prep.
Zoning certificate (multi-unit)
Two- to six-unit buildings generally need a Zoning Certificate of Compliance before transfer; single-family homes and individual condos typically don't. I confirm what applies to your home.
Details reflect requirements as of 2026 and can change — always confirm current rules with the City of Chicago (311). General information, not legal advice.
