Multi-Board contract 8.0 and Illinois transfer taxes

The Multi-Board Residential Real Estate Contract 8.0 was approved in February 2025 by organizations that include the Chicago Association of REALTORS, the Chicago Bar Association, the DuPage County Bar Association and the Heartland REALTOR Organization. Its paragraph 19 cautions the parties that the property may sit in a municipality that has adopted a pre-closing inspection or disclosure requirement, a municipal transfer tax or other similar ordinances.

As of October 2026, the Illinois Department of Revenue says counties may impose a tax of 25 cents per $500 of value on real estate transactions, and home-rule municipalities may impose an additional transfer tax. It also says Form PTAX-203, the Illinois Real Estate Transfer Declaration, is completed by the buyer and seller and filed at the county where the property is located.
