You might try to go to your county's website and go to accessor and look it up there, If you go to the court house then you'll need to know how much tax stamps cost and X's it by how many stamps they bought when they filed their deed.





Cost of tax stamp $20.00

They bought 1500 stamps 1500x20 example.Where do I obtain Public records for a property in Skokie IL?
I'd start at the county courthouse. Call them first, so you'll know where to go.



But, if you want the info delivered straight to your computer then you can use a public records search site.



There are several sites out there. I found a site that reviews and compares these sites.
