What does the Recorders Office do?
The Recorder’s Office is established by Illinois State statute as the legal repository for land records in Kankakee County. In essence, we are a government library for documents concerning ownership of property. When a document is recorded in our office, it is assigned a Document Recording Number, and then enters the document information into a county-wide database. Copies of the actual document are stored on digital media, and the original is returned to the owner.
