The official viewer behind the East Peoria GIS map
In most places the county maintains the parcel layer, so for East Peoria the go-to is the Tazewell County ArcGIS parcel map.
Where the parcel data lives
Lots and tracts near Pekin can be looked up on the Tazewell County ArcGIS parcel map, which opens without registering. For a tract near Washington, enter a street address, an owner's name or a parcel number, and the viewer zooms to the match. Out toward Washington, the parcel card usually lists the owner of record, acreage on the tax roll, a parcel ID and in many cases the last transfer.
Places you'll see on the map
Pekin holds the county offices, which is where the courthouse records live. You'll also find Creve Coeur, Marquette Heights, Morton, and North Pekin, where town lots give way to larger tracts. About 129,541 people live in Tazewell County (Census Bureau estimate, 2023) across about 646 square miles. Tazewell County was organized in 1827, and some chains of title near Marquette Heights are long.
Which office to call
If the acreage or value on a parcel near Washington looks off belong with the Supervisor of Assessments, working with township assessors, since that office keeps the assessment data. Zoning, permits and septic questions near Pekin are for the local planning and health departments, and the answer depends on jurisdiction.
Where East Peoria fits in
East Peoria lies within Tazewell County, Illinois, which means parcel data comes from the county. For property near Morton, the municipality handles things like zoning, permits and utilities within town limits, but the county runs assessment and recording. Land beyond the town limits toward Washington often answers to county rules rather than the town's.
Using it on a phone
Most viewers work in a phone browser, useful out on a road near North Pekin, so load it before you lose signal. A saved image of the lot near Morton and its lines is a good backup.
Saving what you find
Save a screenshot of the lot near Morton and its record panel, which helps later when you ask the assessor or a title company.
Where the recorded documents are
Before you sign anything, pull the recorded deed through the county Recorder of Deeds (in many counties the County Clerk and Recorder); the parcel map near Pekin only summarizes it. With a lot near Pekin, have ready the book and page from the tax record to skip a name search.
Neighboring parcel maps
Tazewell County meets Fulton County, Logan County, McLean County, Mason County, and Peoria County, all with their own assessor records. A tract near the line by Washington can show up across two assessors' files, so check the adjacent map before you assume the acreage. For a home near Pekin, the Platbookmapper state page lists each bordering county map for Illinois.
Search tips
Vacant ground near Marquette Heights may lack an address, so pan the aerial and click the lot. For a home near Washington, searching by parcel number never misses, and you'll find it on tax statements.
Beyond the parcel lines
If you're looking near Creve Coeur, layer lists often include zoning, flood zones, city limits, school districts or contours; not every viewer has them all.
Troubleshooting the viewer
If the viewer stalls on a phone near Marquette Heights, try a desktop browser or clear the cache; links occasionally change, and our directory page keeps the current one.
Owner, value and acreage
If sale dates appear, they help gauge the market in East Peoria are a useful starting point; they're not an appraisal.
What the map can't tell you
Listed acreage is a tax-roll number; just a licensed surveyor sets the real lines for a parcel near Pekin. For a parcel near Pekin, records update in batches, so a deed recorded last month can take weeks to appear.
Sections, lots and bearings
Illinois uses the Public Land Survey System, so deeds around North Pekin reference sections and townships. Each section is nominally a mile square, about 640 acres, and a township holds 36 of them, though real sections near Creve Coeur vary in size. Keep the legal description for land near Pekin before you request a deed or survey.

Not a survey. County GIS and tax parcel maps are assessment and planning layers. They are not a substitute for a recorded plat, deed, or licensed survey, especially for fences, setbacks, or boundary disputes.
