[see below]
Highwood does not have a transfer tax but properties within the town of
Ft. Sheridan do - they are 'subject to a transfer fee pursuant to
Section V B of the Annexation Agreement related to this subdivision'
(City of Highwood). The latest updated transfer tax information I
found was updated on 05/10/06, which stated that Ft. Sheridan Areas are
the only "parts" of Highwood that have transfer taxes $5.00/1,000 under
Highwood's Ordinance 98-0-16. The Seller is the party that is liable
for this tax and this ordinance has been in effect since 03/03/1998 -
there is no pre-transfer inspection required. Highwood refers to Ft.
Sheridan as a 'town' but you have to go to Highwood's City Hall to pick
up transfer fee declaration forms, etc.
