APRIL 2020
The Lake County Recorder of Deeds Office will be CLOSED on Friday, April 10th in observance
of a court holiday.
The County Administration Building is open for limited public access. If you MUST drop off documents to be recorded, you may enter the building and proceed to our office on the sixth floor and leave your documents in the Recorder’s drop box.
- Please note that all documents must be left in the drop box and that our staff will not be available to personally assist you.
- This drop box will be emptied hourly until 3:00pm daily.
- Documents dropped off after 3:00pm will not be removed until the next business day.
We strongly encourage you to refrain from visiting the building and instead either mail the documents to us or postpone your business with our office (where possible).
We have staff on duty, “Doing Good Deeds for You” behind the scenes, but we will not be available to assist you in person. Please keep in mind that you may see an increase in the turnaround time on recorded documents.
We have staff answering phones and responding to emails so please contact us for assistance at either…
