No Surprises at Closing
What Lombard requires to sell
Every municipality has its own point-of-sale rules, and missing one can delay or derail a closing. Here's what Lombard sellers need to know — handled for you, up front.
No village transfer tax
Good news for sellers: Lombard has no municipal transfer tax. You still pay the Illinois state and DuPage County transfer tax — together $1.50 per $1,000 of the sale price — which is built into your net-proceeds estimate above.
Final water bill
The Village requires the final water bill to be paid at sale. We order the final reading and settle the account 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.
Inspections
Lombard does not impose a general mandatory pre-sale interior inspection, but point-of-sale requirements vary and change — I confirm the current rules for your specific property.
Details reflect Village of Lombard requirements as of 2026 and can change — always confirm current rules with the Village of Lombard, (630) 620-5700. General information, not legal advice.

About Lombard
Why buyers compete for Lombard
About 20 miles west of downtown Chicago, Lombard — the Lilac Village — pairs attainable pricing with a walkable downtown and the famous Lilacia Park, whose spring bloom and Lilac Time festival draw visitors from across the region. That value-plus-charm mix keeps buyer demand broad and steady.
Commuters ride the Metra UP-West line from the downtown Lombard station into the city, and Yorktown Center anchors nearby shopping and dining. Schools include Districts 44 and 45 and Glenbard East High School.
Lombard's housing spans mid-century ranches and split-levels to updated and newer homes across established, tree-lined neighborhoods — offering entry points for first-time buyers and move-up families alike. Each pocket has its own buyer profile and pricing dynamics.
- Lilacia Park & walkable downtown — parks, shops, and events.
- Metra UP-West — direct to downtown Chicago.
- Attainable pricing draws a wide buyer pool.
- No village transfer tax — a real seller advantage.
