Useful offices
Property valuation, tax-account payments, recorded deeds, and court cases are separate tasks. The right code office also depends on the property’s actual jurisdiction.
Kankakee County · real-property valuation and assessments
Use this office for assessed value and property-assessment questions. Assessment is different from a property-tax payment account or a recorded deed.
189 East Court Street, Kankakee, IL 60901
Phone: 815-936-2945
Supervisor of Assessments ↗Kankakee County · property-tax payments and accounts
Contact the Treasurer about property-tax payment and account questions. For the assessed value itself, contact the Supervisor of Assessments instead.
189 East Court Street, Kankakee, IL
Phone: 815-937-2960
Kankakee County Treasurer ↗Kankakee County · recorded deeds and land documents
Use the Recorder for recorded deeds and recording-process information. A recorded document is not a property-specific title determination.
189 East Court Street, Kankakee, IL 60901
Phone: 815-936-5536
Kankakee County Recorder ↗Kankakee County · civil and probate court matters
The County lists Civil and Probate divisions in the Circuit Clerk’s Room 209 office. Ask the Clerk about a court case or filing; court records and judgments are different from deeds recorded by the Recorder.

Phone: 815-936-5700
Kankakee County Circuit Clerk ↗City of Kankakee · permits, rental licenses, vacant-building registration, and code reports
For a property inside Kankakee city limits, use the City’s routes for permits, rental licensing, vacant-building registration, or reporting a code violation. Check the address with the City if you are unsure which jurisdiction applies.
295 North Harrison Avenue, Kankakee, IL 60901
Phone: 815-936-7390
City Building & Code Department ↗Unincorporated Kankakee County · property maintenance
The County describes its property-maintenance role as covering unincorporated county properties. A property inside the City of Kankakee or another municipality may have a different code office.
Kankakee County Code Enforcement ↗Helpful local rules
For a taxable transfer, Illinois charges 50 cents for each $500 of taxable value, or part of $500. A county can add 25 cents for each $500, and some cities impose their own transfer taxes. Exemptions and the transaction’s taxable value can change the amount. Ask the closing or title professional to confirm the taxes and who is responsible for them on the specific property.
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs, including the Illinois state, county and city transfer taxes. This does not pay your mortgage, liens, back taxes or share of current property taxes; those remain separate.
Official Illinois sources:
The City of Kankakee publishes permit, rental-license, vacant-building, and code-reporting routes for properties in the City. County Code Enforcement describes its property-maintenance role for unincorporated Kankakee County. If the property is in another municipality, use that municipality’s office.
