The seller pays $2.50 per $1,000 of the sale price for each piece of property sold. There is a $10 processing fee for exempt real estate transfer stamps. Before the Real Estate Transfer tax stamp is issued, all debts due and owed to the Village with respect to such parcel must be paid in full, including the water bill which must be current, a final water reading must be scheduled, and a deposit of the greater of $75.00 or the average of the last 2 billing cycles.
