CHIEF DEPUTY RECORDER CUSTOMER COURTESY NOTICE

WATER & SEWER CHARGE FULL PAYMENT CERTIFICATES

§ 11-12-530 Certification of Payment: Unless otherwise provided by law or rule, a full payment certificate

is required in all transfers of real property whether such transfers are subject to or exempt from the

real property tax pursuant to Chapter 3-33 of this Code. In order to obtain a full payment certificate, an

application with a fee of $50.00 shall be made to the comptroller. Provided, however, if the property is

exempt from the real property transfer tax, the full payment certificate application fee shall not be charged.

Effective, January 1, 2012, the City of Chicago Municipal Code was amended to include the following section:

www.cityofchicago.org under the Department of Revenue Water Division. Applications must be completed in their entirety,

DUE TO § 11-12-530 Certification of Payment, ALL TRANSFERS OF PROPERTY IN CHICAGO REQUIRE A FULL

PAYMENT CERTIFICATE (FPC) IRRESPECTIVE OF WHETHER IT IS EXEMPT FROM TRANSFER TAXES.

Included are property transfers that had previously been exempt from Full Payment Certificates because they did not require City

of Chicago Real Property Transfer Tax Stamps, such as quit claim and government agency transactions, although they will still

exempt from the $50 FPC charge. Evidence that a Full Payment Certificate was obtained and proof of payment must be provided

purchasing Real Property Transfer Tax Stamps (including zero stamps) and when recording the deed with the Cook County

of Deeds, which should appear substantially in the following form/format:

Updated Full Payment Certificate applications reflecting this change are available at 333 S. State St., Suite 330, City Hall Room

revised: 2.29.2016

including reliable local contact information for individuals who have access to the property and any required accompanying

documentation, such as legal description and plat of survey. INCOMPLETE APPLICATIONS WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED!
