When a deed near Millington says lot and block, look up the Plano plat map it refers to. Covered here for Plano: where plats are filed, plat versus tax map, and what to look for on the sheet.

Getting started with the Plano plat map

For a lot in Plano, look for the plat book reference on the parcel record; that makes the request quick.

Opening the official parcel viewer

Lots and tracts near Millington are published on the Kendall County parcel viewer, which opens without registering. For acreage around Newark, type a street address, an owner's name or a parcel number, and the viewer zooms to the match. With a lot near Yorkville, write down the parcel ID from that panel; every clerk in the county will want it.

A word on accuracy

Listed acreage is a tax-roll number; just a licensed surveyor sets the real corners on land around Yorkville. On ground around Oswego, owner names and values update on a schedule, so a deed recorded last month may not show yet.

Getting answers from the right desk

Recorded documents for a parcel near Oswego sit in the index kept by the county Recorder of Deeds (in many counties the County Clerk and Recorder), sometimes only in person. Building or septic questions for a lot near Montgomery go to planning, building or health offices, depending on whether the land is inside town limits.

City limits and county records

Plano lies within Kendall County, Illinois, so its parcels are on the county's map. For land near Newark, the municipality handles things like zoning, permits and utilities within town limits, and the county still keeps the parcel and deed records. Land beyond the town limits near Montgomery often follows county rules, not municipal ones.

Recorded plat or GIS layer

Where lines don't match in Plano, the recorded plat and a survey control.

Kendall County in a few facts

Yorkville serves as the county seat, which is where the courthouse records live. You'll also find Millbrook, Millington, and Montgomery, each with its own cluster of lots. Around 139,976 people call Kendall County home (Census Bureau estimate, 2023) on roughly 320 square miles. Kendall County dates to 1841, and some chains of title near Newark are long.

Deeds, plats and who keeps them

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 Yorkville only summarizes it. Inherited tracts around Millbrook can sit on several deeds, so a title company can sort it out on a real sale.

What a plat shows

If the land is near Newark, the sheet usually includes lot and block numbers, dimensions and bearings, street rights-of-way and easements.

Amended plats

An amended plat may change lots around Millbrook, so check for later filings; vacated streets or alleys also get recorded.
