As of Monday, January 3, 2022 and until further notice, the Recorder of Deeds Office is TEMPORARILY suspending in-person services, due to the increase of COVID-19-positive cases in Lake County.

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.

• Masks are required to be worn while in the County Administration Building.
• 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 4:30pm daily.
• Documents dropped off after 4:30pm will not be removed until the next business day.

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 (847) 377-2575 or recorder@lakecountyil.gov

Stay Healthy!

We are looking forward to working with you again in 2022!

All of us at the Lake County Recorder of Deeds Office extend our very best wishes for a safe and successful New Year!!!
