Getting started with the Marseilles property search
The LaSalle County parcel viewer is the free tool for this; addresses, names and parcel numbers all work.
Where the parcel data lives
Property in and around Streator can be looked up on the LaSalle County parcel viewer, free to use and open without a login. On ground around Grand Ridge, enter a street address, an owner's name or a parcel number, and the matching parcel lights up. For land near Streator, the parcel card normally shows the owner of record, acreage on the tax roll, the parcel number and in many cases the last transfer.
Before you lean on the lines
Tax maps are drawn for assessment, not measured on the ground, so the edge of a yard near Kangley can sit a few yards off the line on screen. On ground around Ransom, records update in batches, so a deed recorded last month might lag behind.
Sections, lots and bearings

A standard section is about one square mile, roughly 640 acres, with 36 sections to a township, though corrections make some sections near Streator odd-sized.
