The Grundy County Recorder’s Office does NOT provide search services. The Recorder’s Office is a repository for all documents recorded in Grundy County since its inception in 1841. Our Record Library is located on the main floor in the Grundy County Courthouse, Room 11, 111 E. Washington Street in Morris, Illinois, and is open to the public for document research. We provide computer workstations, microfilm viewers, and access to all of our historical recording indexes, books, plat books, and plat maps.

We will be happy to assist you in beginning your document search, but please be aware that because of the time, complexity, and legalities involved in document research, we cannot perform the searches for you. You may investigate on your own, or we suggest that you contact a title search company for professional assistance.
