Costs to Know When You Buy or Sell
Montgomery does not charge a municipal transfer tax per the July 2026 Fidelity National Title list; state and county transfer taxes still apply. Illinois property taxes are paid a year in arrears, so sellers credit buyers for the time they owned the home. See my guide to the cost of selling in Illinois.
