I believe you are talking about the transfer tax which is $3.75 for every $500 to the Buyer and $1.50 per $500 to the Seller?  That applies only to Chicago. My understanding is that LaGrange does not have a transfer tax and Countryside charges $50 flat fee. (as of July 2011)  There is also a $.25 per $$500 cook county transfer tax and a $1 PER $1000 State transfer tax.

You should contact your attorney to verify this information.
