What Hinsdale requires to sell
Good news for Hinsdale sellers: the Village keeps point-of-sale requirements light. Here's what to know, handled for you up front.
No village transfer tax
Hinsdale does not impose a municipal transfer tax, so there's no village stamp to purchase — a nice advantage compared with many nearby towns.
Final water reading
The Village requires a final water reading before closing. We schedule it early so it never holds up your closing date.
State & county transfer tax
You'll still pay the Illinois state ($0.50 per $500) and DuPage County ($0.25 per $500) transfer taxes — the seller's responsibility on every sale.
Transfer Declaration
The Illinois Real Estate Transfer Declaration (PTAX-203) is completed and filed with DuPage County at closing.
Details reflect Village of Hinsdale and Illinois/DuPage County requirements as of 2026 and can change — always confirm current rules with the Village of Hinsdale. General information, not legal advice.
