Getting to the right map
Begin with the Will County parcel viewer; it includes every assessed parcel in the county, Mokena included. In and around New Lenox, enter a street address, an owner's name or a parcel number, then pick the result to center the map on it. With a lot near Romeoville, the record panel typically gives the owner of record, acreage on the tax roll, the parcel number and in many cases the last transfer.
Backing up the map with records
Before you sign anything, request the recorded deed through the county Recorder of Deeds (in many counties the County Clerk and Recorder); the parcel map near Orland Park only summarizes it. Older tracts near Romeoville can go back through many deeds, and a title company can sort it out before a purchase.
