Since January 1, 2012, every real estate transfer in Chicago—regardless of exemption status—must include a Full Payment Certificate (FPC), also known as a city water and sewer certificate. This requirement ensures all utility charges are paid, safeguarding both buyer and seller from liability and enabling the issuance of transfer stamps by the City and Cook County Recorder.
Chicago FPC Service streamlines the process with a simple, all-in-one solution: Flat $60 fee, regardless of complexity, consistently cheaper than title company rates ($100–$125). No contracts or onboarding paperwork, just submit your order with minimal info. 24/7 online order placement, with same-day submission to the Water Department.
For law firms, title companies, and real estate professionals: Save time & money—reallocate staff hours to core tasks. Scale easily no need to hire or train internal staff as volume grows.
Chicago FPC Service keeps you informed about delays from the City’s Water Department. Their proactive follow‑up ensures your FPC doesn’t stall your closing.
For Chicago real estate professionals, Chicago FPC Service offers a fee-transparent, expert, and speedy alternative to in-house or title-company-managed water certifications. With a $60 flat fee, no red tape, and a team trained for efficiency and accuracy, they deliver peace of mind at closing.
Don’t let water‑utility issues delay your transactions.
