A property sale can raise separate questions about its assessed value, an unpaid tax bill, a deed, a court case, or transfer taxes. The offices below handle different records; the Joliet pages later on cover common selling situations and ways to compare your options.
Joliet’s incorporated-place boundary intersects both Will County and Kendall County. That is city-boundary orientation, not a parcel-level determination. Verify the actual property’s county before relying on a county office. The Census boundary sources are the Census TIGERweb Joliet place feature ↗ and the Illinois county polygons ↗.
Useful offices
Match the office to the question. Assessment, tax collection, deed recording, and court judgments are different tasks. The addresses and links below are county routes; confirm the parcel’s county first.
Will County · assessments, exemptions, and township-assessor routes
Start here for a property assessment, assessed value, exemption, or a question about the township assessor. Assessment is different from paying an unpaid tax bill, recording a deed, or checking a court judgment.
302 N. Chicago Street, Joliet, IL 60432.
Will County · property-tax payments, delinquent taxes, and tax sales
Use the Treasurer for property-tax payment information, an unpaid or delinquent tax balance, and tax-sale information. This is separate from assessment questions, deed recording, and mortgage-foreclosure court records.
Will County Office Building, 302 N. Chicago Street, Joliet, IL 60432.
Will County · deed recording and recorded land documents
Use the Recorder for recording a deed and for recorded land-document or deed-guideline questions. A recorded deed is not the same record as a civil-court judgment; contact the Circuit Clerk about court records.
158 N. Scott Street, Joliet, IL 60432-4143.
Will County · Circuit Court cases and court-record questions
Start with the Circuit Clerk for a Will County court case or a court judgment. Court records are different from deeds and other land documents kept by the Recorder of Deeds.
Will County Courthouse, 100 W. Jefferson Street, Joliet, IL 60432.
Kendall County · Circuit 23 courthouse and court-clerk route
For a property in Kendall County, use the county court directory and Circuit Clerk route for court-case or judgment questions. The Joliet city-boundary overlap does not establish which county holds a particular parcel.
Kendall County Courthouse, 807 W. John Street, Yorkville, IL 60560.
Illinois transfer-tax rule
For a taxable transfer, Illinois charges 50 cents for each $500 of taxable value, or part of $500. A county may add 25 cents for each $500, and some cities impose their own transfer tax. Exemptions and the transaction’s taxable value can change the amount; the property’s actual county and city determine which local taxes apply.
Ask the title or closing professional to confirm the property-specific figures and who is responsible for them. When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs, including the Illinois state, county and city transfer taxes. Your mortgage balance, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes remain separate.

The incorporated-place boundary of Joliet intersects Will County and Kendall County, but that boundary overlay does not identify the county for an individual parcel. Verify the property’s county before using a county office; the links above show the office routes for each county.
For a Will County property, contact the Supervisor of Assessments about assessments and exemptions. Contact the Will County Treasurer about property-tax payments, delinquent taxes, or tax-sale information. The Treasurer’s tax-sale route is not the same as a mortgage-foreclosure court case.
The Will County Recorder handles deed recording and recorded land documents. For a Will County court case or judgment, contact the Circuit Clerk. For a Kendall County court matter, use the Kendall County Courthouse and Circuit Clerk links above.
For a taxable transfer, Illinois charges 50 cents for each $500 of taxable value, or part of $500. A county may add 25 cents for each $500, and some cities impose their own transfer tax. Exemptions, taxable value, and the property’s actual county and city affect the transaction; ask the title or closing professional to confirm the figures and allocation.
