How property deeds are recorded in Illinois

Illinois records real-property documents through the County Recorder of Deeds (in larger counties) or the County Clerk. That means when a Illinois property changes hands — through a sale, gift, inheritance, or refinance — the deed is filed with the County Recorder of Deeds, where it becomes part of the public record.

The most common document types recorded under Illinois law include Warranty Deed, Special Warranty Deed, Quitclaim Deed, and Trustee's Deed. DeedNow returns the most recent recorded deed of conveyance for whichever Illinois address you search.

What's recorded with the County Recorder of Deeds

The County Recorder of Deeds office in each Illinois county maintains the official index of real-property documents. Each recorded Illinois deed typically includes:

Grantor and grantee: who's transferring title and who's receiving it.
Legal description: the platted lot and block, metes and bounds, or recorded subdivision reference for the parcel.
Consideration: the price or other consideration paid, where Illinois law requires it on the face of the document.
Recording stamp: the book/page or instrument number assigned by the County Recorder of Deeds when the document was filed.
Notary acknowledgment: the notarized signature block that makes the deed eligible for recording in Illinois.
