Phyllis K. Walters, McHenry County Recorder, and her staff now have more than 100 years of indexed and imaged documents on the Recorder’s computer system. Approximately 2.8 million documents containing more than 11 million pages of information dating back to 1909 are available to search, retrieve and print within seconds in the Recorder’s Office, or on the internet.
“This is a major accomplishment for our office and we are on target to reach completion of all recorded document indexes and images, dating back to 1839, on computer by 2012,” said Recorder Walters. While current documents are recorded on the day they are received and returned within 3 business days, the office continues to work back-in-time adding information prior to the year 1909.
While all recorded documents can be searched in the Recorder’s Office, the office offers the following online services: Recorder’s “free search” at www.co.mchenry.il.us/departments/recorder where indexed land records can be searched by grantor/grantee name, without images; LAREDO – a quarterly subscription service for those who access information often, images can be viewed and printed; and Tapestry – visit www.landrecords.net for a pay-as-you-go land records search.
More information on any of these services can be found on the Recorder’s website or by calling the office at (815) 334-4045, or (815) 334-4109.
