Where the recorded documents are
For anything that matters, request the recorded deed through the county Recorder of Deeds (in many counties the County Clerk and Recorder); the viewer just points to it, whether the land is near North Pekin or elsewhere in the county. Older tracts near East Peoria may trace back through many deeds, so a title company can sort it out before a purchase.

For a home near Morton, city or town hall handles matters such as zoning, permits and utilities inside its limits, while the county keeps the tax map.

Reading the owner field

Before you lean on the lines
