No Surprises at Closing

What Hanover Park requires to sell

Every location has its own point-of-sale rules, and missing one can delay a closing. Here's what Hanover Park sellers need to know — handled for you, up front.

Real estate transfer tax

Illinois state and county transfer tax total $1.50 per $1,000, and Hanover Park adds a seller-paid village transfer tax of $3.00 per $1,000 (a $1.50 stamp per $500 of value). With the Illinois state and DuPage County tax, sellers pay a combined $4.50 per $1,000 — already built into your net estimate above.

Final water reading

The Village requires a final water reading with all outstanding water/sewer balances paid before a transfer stamp is issued, so sellers should schedule the final reading ahead of closing. We coordinate this early so it never holds up your close.

Transfer declaration & contract

Your closing includes the Illinois PTAX-203 transfer declaration and signed sales contract, recorded with the deed in DuPage County. We prepare these as part of your closing package.
