What is the difference if I buy a car from a private party or a dealer?
You will pay 6.25% tax if you buy from a dealer. If from a private party, you pay a flat tax based on the year unless it is worth more than $15,000.
Do I pay taxes if I got the car from a relative?
Only if you get it from a parent (not step), sibling or child.
My title was signed/dated incorrectly, what do I do?
Depending on what is wrong, an affirmation of correction will need to be signed. Come in to park and we'll help you work through the fix. Do not cross out or white out the incorrect info!
I'm moving to Illinois from another state, what do I need to bring?
The title if you have it. If not and there is a loan, you need a copy of the original bill of sale, the loan contract showing where the title should be sent, and the registration from the state from which you are moving.
