Useful offices
Property assessment, unpaid taxes, recorded land documents and court records are handled through different offices. These contacts serve Marion or Williamson County, as noted.
Williamson County · assessments and parcel location
Use the Supervisor of Assessments for assessed-value questions and County GIS for parcel-location questions. These are different from a property-tax bill or tax-sale status.
407 N Monroe Street, Suite 205, Marion, IL 62959.
Williamson County · property-tax bills, payments and tax-sale information
Contact the Treasurer about a county property-tax bill, payment or tax-sale information for a particular parcel. The Treasurer handles tax accounts, not property valuation.
407 N Monroe Street, Suite 104, Marion, IL 62959.
Williamson County · deeds, mortgages and recorded land documents
Use the Clerk and Recorder for recorded deeds, mortgages and other land documents, including recorded property-lien documents. A court judgment is a court record, not a deed.
407 N Monroe Street, Suite 119, Marion, IL 62959.
Williamson County · court records, filings and Probate/Guardianship case contact
Use the Circuit Clerk for county court-record and filing questions. The County lists Probate/Guardianship as a case type; court records are separate from recorded deeds and land documents.

Helpful Illinois 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 per $500, and some cities impose their own transfer taxes. Exemptions and the taxable value can change the amount.
The property’s actual county and city determine which local taxes apply; a Marion mailing address alone does not establish the property’s city limits. When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs, including the Illinois state, county and city transfer taxes. Your mortgage, liens, back taxes and share of current property taxes are separate.
For the property’s location, see the official City of Marion economic development and municipal planning page and Williamson County GIS. Your closing professional can show the transaction’s applicable tax figures.
