The Recorder's office is the repository for many types of documents. State statutes require that these documents be kept forever and that they are stored in a medium that meets standards as set in the Illinois Archival Standards Statutes.

Among the documents accepted for recordation here are: all those relating to real estate transactions and ownership, liens of many kinds, financing statements (U.C.C.'s) Sub-division & Condominium Plats, Land Surveys and many miscellaneous documents such as Military Discharges, Corporation Papers, Powers of Attorney, Foreign Birth Certificates and Farm Names.

The Tazewell County Recorder's office employs technology that is dependable, fast and easy to use. It is the very best technology that is available to Recorders anywhere and exceeds those standards required by Illinois State Statutes.

We make a point of pride of our policy of twenty four hour "turn around." This simply means that every document accepted for recordation one day is returned to the originator the next business day, few Recorder's offices in the State can make that claim. Last year we processed over 40,000 documents.

Our employees are all very knowledgeable and experienced. We will be glad to help you find what you want to know and will show you how the system works. Just ask, you will find us friendly and helpful.
