Ordinance #2010-06 of the Village of South Holland Municipal Code establishing a Certificate of Payment requires anyone who sells property or transfers real estate to pay all outstanding service charges, including but not limited to, water service, building code violations, and other charges, due to the Village be paid in full before a Certificate of Payment Certificate is issued. This also requires the Seller to give the Village three (3) days notice before the scheduled closing to allow sufficient time to obtain a final meter reading and issue a certificate once all debts to the Village of South Holland have been paid. This procedure is also required for Quit Claim deeds.
Once this application is received, the Village will take the appropriate action to obtain a meter reading and notify the Seller of any monies due the Village. The final amount due may be paid in cash, credit card (MasterCard/Visa), cashier’s check, certified check or money order. PERSONAL CHECKS NOT ACCEPTED. Once payment is made the Village will issue a Certificate of Payment certifying that all amounts owed by the Seller have been paid in full.
Please note the application is valid for 30 days
