Department. If requested by the recorder or registrar of |
| 12 |
| titles of a county
that has imposed a county real estate |
| 13 |
| transfer tax under Section 5-1031 of the
Counties Code, the |
| 14 |
| Department shall design the stamps furnished to that county
|
| 15 |

| 16 |
| evidence of the payment
of the county real estate transfer tax |
| 17 |
| and shall include in the design of the
stamp the name of the |
| 18 |
| county and an indication that the stamp is evidence of
the |
| 19 |
| payment of both State and county real estate transfer taxes. |

| The revenue
stamps shall be sold by the Department to the |
| 21 |
| recorder or registrar
of titles who shall cause them to be sold |
| 22 |
| for the purposes prescribed.
The Department shall charge at a |
| 23 |
| rate of 50¢ per $500 of value in
units of not less than $500. |
| 24 |

counties |
| 25 |

|
| 26 |

| 27 |
