Pulling up a parcel

On ground around Lockport, type a street address, an owner's name or a parcel number, and the viewer zooms to the match. If the land is near Woodridge, the parcel card typically gives the owner of record, acreage on the tax roll, a parcel ID and sometimes recent sales.
Who handles what
Deeds, mortgages and recorded plats for land near Homer Glen are with the county Recorder of Deeds (in many counties the County Clerk and Recorder), usually searchable by name or document number. Questions about what you can build around Orland Park need the planning or permitting office, and the answer depends on jurisdiction.
Land outside a subdivision

The paper trail behind a parcel
The map is an index, not the title: deeds, subdivision plats and easements for land near Lockport are filed with the county Recorder of Deeds (in many counties the County Clerk and Recorder). For a home near Homer Glen, have ready the document number listed on the parcel record so staff can find the deed fast.
Legal descriptions in Illinois
Illinois is laid out under the Public Land Survey System, which means a tract near Romeoville is described by section, township and range.

Write down the legal description for the tract near Orland Park for any title or survey request.
