Your parcel location, not your postal city alone, determines which county and municipality apply. Offices listed here are public government agencies, not SQFT IO office locations.

Questions to ask

  • Which municipality and county are my parcel in, according to my tax bill?
  • Are any sale-related certificates, inspections or transfer declarations required for my address?
  • What are the current tax and assessment records for my parcel?

For transfer paperwork, ask your closing professional whether a declaration or exemption applies and how charges are allocated. Illinois Department of Revenue transfer-tax guidance. Local requirements and transaction exemptions must be checked for your address; they are not inferred from a resource link.

Seller guidance

  • Gather your deed, survey, permit records and receipts for major updates before you list.
  • We do not have verified housing-type details for Normal. Tell us what you own and we will ask the right questions.
  • We have not verified whether an owners association applies to your property. If you pay assessments or received association documents, mention it so we can help you collect what a buyer will need.
  • Choose the plan on its included services and written terms. Listing fees and the $495 transaction fee are described below. Buyer-agent compensation is separate and negotiated with the offer.
  • We apply the same service to every seller and every buyer, and we market homes on their features, not on who lives nearby.
