These are estimates only. Tax prorations are calculated at 105% of the prior year's tax bill, which is standard in most Illinois transactions but may vary by contract. Transfer tax rates vary by municipality — Chicago: $1.50/$500, Evanston: $2.50/$500, Oak Park/Skokie: $1.50/$500. Actual costs depend on contract terms, title company rates, and property-specific details. Contact Matthew for a personalized net sheet.
