DuPage County Recorder: Search Deeds, Property Records, Mortgages and Liens
The DuPage County Recorder of Deeds records and preserves
documents affecting real property in DuPage County, Illinois. The office’s
online system is unusually useful because you can search not only by owner
name, but also by street address, Property Index Number (PIN),
document number, bank, trust number, subdivision/business name, document
type and recording-date range.
The Recorder’s Digital Imaging System currently provides access to
indexed documents and digital images beginning March 16, 1961.
Earlier title research can require older book/page references or assistance
from the Recorder’s research staff.
Fastest route for most users:
if you know the address or PIN → search the DuPage Recorder directly →
identify the deed, mortgage, release, lien or other document →
open the matching record/image → save the document number →
follow related document numbers when reconstructing ownership,
mortgage or lien history.

Major DuPage advantage:
unlike many county recorder systems, the live DuPage search includes
dedicated fields for street address and Property Index Number. If you
already know the property, you may not need to begin with a broad
owner-name search.
Independent guide:
County-CAD.us is not the DuPage County Recorder, County of DuPage,
Treasurer, Supervisor of Assessments, County Clerk, Illinois Department

Route 1 — you know the address
How to Search DuPage Recorder Records by Property Address
Open the Recorder Search above.
Scroll to Property Information.
Do not use the Name section if the property address is already known.
Enter Street Number.
Select Street Direction when applicable.
Examples can include N, S, E or W.
Enter the main Street field.
Enter the City.
This is useful when similar street names occur in more than one municipality.
Run the search and review the document list.
Expect more than deeds—mortgages, releases, liens and other instruments
can also appear.
Find the document type you actually need.
For ownership transfer, focus on an appropriate deed rather than simply
selecting the newest recording.
Open the document/image and save the document number.
If address search is messy:
switch to the DuPage Property Records Search, identify the official
PIN, then return to the Recorder and search that PIN.
Route 2 — parcel-first research
How to Search the DuPage Recorder by Property Index Number
DuPage County’s property system uses a Parcel Number / Property Index
Number to connect assessment, sales, tax and Recorder research.
PIN
Need the PIN first?
Use the official DuPage Property Records Search.
Find a DuPage PIN
Find the PIN from an address
Open the Property Records Search.
Select Address Search.
Enter the property information.
Open the correct parcel.
Confirm owner, location and municipality.
Copy the Parcel Number / PIN.
Return to the Recorder Search.
Enter the PIN into the Property Index Number fields.
Useful cross-check:
DuPage property records can also show Property Transfer History,
Conveyance History and sales data, including deed type, grantor,
grantee, recorded date and document number for many transactions.
A powerful shortcut before the Recorder search
Use DuPage Property Transfer History to Find the Deed Number First
The county’s property database can contain a transaction history that
identifies the sale date, document type, document number, grantor,
grantee and recorded date.
Open DuPage Property Records Search.
Search by PIN or address.
Open the correct property.
Look for Property Transfer History, Sales or Conveyance History.
Find the transaction you care about.
Compare sale date, recorded date, seller/grantor and buyer/grantee.
Copy the document number.
Use the Recorder link or open the Recorder Search directly.
This is one of the best DuPage-specific shortcuts.
Instead of guessing owner-name spellings in the Recorder database,
property-transfer history can give you the document number first.
Route 3 — party search
How to Search DuPage Deeds by Owner, Grantor or Grantee Name
NM
Official Recorder Search
Use Last Name / First Name.
Search by Name
Open the search page.
Use the Name Information section.
Enter the Last Name.
Add the First Name only when useful.
If the full name is stored differently, a narrower surname search may
help identify spelling variations.
Add a recording-date range when you know the approximate transaction.
Filter by document type or group when needed.
For an ownership deed, use deed-related categories rather than reviewing
every mortgage and lien.
Compare the address or PIN of likely results.
Save the exact document number.
Same name does not prove same person.
Verify property address, PIN, document type, date and related parties
before associating a recorded document with an individual.
DuPage-specific advanced searches
Searching a Trust, Bank, Company or Subdivision
Bank Name
Useful for mortgage, assignment and release research when you know
the lender or financial institution.
Trust Number
The live portal accepts letters, numbers, spaces and hyphens.
This can be particularly useful for Illinois land-trust research.
Subdivision / Business Name
Useful for LLCs, corporations, condominium developments and named subdivisions.
Date Range
Combine an entity search with known closing, refinance or payoff dates
to reduce unrelated results.
Illinois land-trust tip:
the tax-bill owner, beneficial-interest owner and trustee name can differ.
Search every reliable trust, bank and party reference available in your
closing or title documents.
Strongest search key
How to Search by DuPage Recorder Document Number
If another county system, title document, tax record or previous deed
gives you the Recorder’s document number, use it before trying a broad name search.
Open the Recorder Search.
Go to Document Information.
Enter the document number exactly as available.
Open the returned record.
Verify parties, date and document type.
Review the digital image when available.
Save related recording references contained in the instrument.
Ownership-transfer research
How to Find the Deed That Transferred a DuPage County Property
Do not assume the newest recorded document is the ownership deed.
Properties can have later mortgages, releases, liens, easements,
notices and other recordings.
Search by PIN or address first.
Review deed-related document types.
The live portal includes categories such as DEED, QUIT CLAIM DEED,
NR DEED, TRUSTEE-related documents and other property instruments.
Compare the grantor and grantee.
The grantor generally conveys an interest; the grantee generally receives it.
Compare the recorded date with the purchase or transfer date.
Open the document image.
Review legal description, names and recording references.
Check later deeds.
A later quitclaim, trustee deed, corrective document or estate-related
instrument can change the ownership picture.
Recorder search ≠ title opinion.
If ownership affects a purchase, probate case, foreclosure, trust dispute,
lien priority or litigation, use an Illinois attorney or title professional.
Important Document Types in the DuPage Recorder Search
DEED
General deed category affecting real property.
QUIT CLAIM DEED
Transfers whatever interest the grantor has, subject to the instrument’s legal effect.
MORTGAGE
Recorded financing/security interest.
MORTGAGE ASSIGNMENT
Transfer of an existing mortgage interest.
MORTGAGE RELEASE
Document releasing a recorded mortgage interest.
MECHANIC LIEN
Construction-related lien filing.
JUDGMENT / LIS PENDENS
Court-related recorded interests or notices affecting property research.
EASEMENT
Recorded access, utility or other real-property-use right.
TRANSFER ON DEATH
Illinois property-after-death planning instrument appearing in the index.
MYDEC / PTAX
Transfer-declaration-related entries in the recording database.
CORRECTION CERTIFICATE
Correction-related recorded instrument.
PLAT / SUBDIVISION PLAT
Recorded map or subdivision instrument.

Paid off your mortgage?
Do not search only for a new deed. The ownership deed and mortgage-release
document serve different purposes.
DuPage has useful lien-type filters
How to Search DuPage County Liens and Releases
The live Recorder search includes several dedicated document groups,
making it easier to narrow lien research.
Government Liens / Releases
State, federal and other government-related recorded claims.
Mechanics Liens / Releases
Construction and contractor lien records.
Judgment / Lis Pendens / Releases
Court judgments and pending-litigation notices.
Child Support Liens / Releases
Child-support-related recorded liens.
Chattel Liens / Releases
Personal-property-related filings appearing in Recorder records.
Miscellaneous Liens
Other lien categories not captured by a more specific group.
Lien-release verification workflow
Find the original lien.
Save the original document number.
Search later release records.
Compare parties and dates.
Open the release image.
Verify that it references the correct original instrument.
Illinois law now expressly requires recorded instruments referring to
related instruments to include the Recorder’s document number or
book/page reference where applicable.
Historical land-record research
What If the DuPage Document Is Older Than March 16, 1961?
The Recorder’s current Digital Imaging System states that indexed
documents and digital images are available starting
March 16, 1961.
Older property history may therefore require another research route.
Collect every newer deed you already have.
Later deeds often refer to earlier instruments.
Look for old book, page or document-number references.
Try the Book and Page Register.
Write down every older reference you find.
Call the Recorder Research line if the online system stops helping.
Use
630-407-5401.
Give research staff specific clues.
Provide names, property location, PIN, document references and
approximate years rather than asking for an open-ended title search.
DuPage’s FY2026 Recorder budget identifies continuing work to index
archived historical books dating back to the county’s earliest period.
Historical coverage should therefore be treated differently from the
modern 1961+ digital-image database.
Find first, order second
How to Get a Copy or Certified DuPage County Deed
Because the online portal provides indexed records and digital images
from March 16, 1961 forward, first determine whether the online image
itself solves your research need.
When another organization requires an official certified copy,
contact the Recorder with the exact document information.
Search the exact document first.
Save the document number.
Confirm the document type, parties and date.
Ask the recipient whether certification is actually required.
Banks, courts, title companies and government agencies can have
different requirements.
Contact DuPage Recorder Research.
Call
630-407-5401 and give the
document number first.
Confirm the current copy/certification price before ordering.
Keep the certified copy intact.
Do not remove certification pages or alter the document if it is
needed for legal use.
Why this article does not hard-code an old DuPage copy fee:
the Recorder’s FY2026 county budget specifically lists adjusting the
Certified Copy Fee to a current market rate and launching a redesigned
online document-fee model as objectives. A fee copied from an older
recorder page or third-party directory may therefore become stale.
Verify the live amount before payment.
Recording is different from searching
How to Prepare a Deed for Recording in DuPage County
A Recorder preserves and indexes documents presented for recording.
The Recorder does not choose the correct deed or design your ownership
structure.
Confirm that the property is in DuPage County.
A postal city can cross county boundaries.
Confirm the property’s PIN.
Use the official DuPage Property Records Search.
Use the correct legal description.
Do not substitute a postal street address for the deed’s legal description.
Include the required grantee tax-billing information.
Illinois law requires specified conveyance information to accompany
real-estate documents.
Include return-recipient information.
Current Illinois recorder law requires the name and address of the
person to whom the recorded instrument should be returned.
Check referenced document numbers.
A release, amendment or related instrument should identify the
underlying recording it affects.
Determine whether PTAX-203 / MyDec applies.
Check state, county and municipal transfer-tax requirements.
Confirm the current DuPage recording fee directly before submission.
Do not draft an ownership-changing deed from a generic internet
template merely to save a filing fee.
Joint tenancy, tenancy in common, trusts, probate transfers, divorce,
TODI and estate-planning transactions can create significant legal consequences.
Avoid stale fee charts
DuPage Recorder Fees: What to Verify Before You Pay
Illinois changed the recorder-fee framework effective in 2024.
Counties in the applicable classes now operate under a
predictable fee schedule established by statute and
county action.
State law creates document classes such as:
Deeds
Separate predictable-fee classification.
Leases
Includes lease amendments and similar transfers of interest.
Mortgages
Includes assignments, extensions, amendments, subordinations and releases.
Easements
Separate classification when not part of another class.
Nonstandard documents
Documents failing applicable format requirements.
Maps / plats
Separate statutory classification.
Do not rely on an older DuPage fee table quoting repealed
sections 3-5018 or 3-5018.1.
The current Illinois provision is 55 ILCS 5/3-5018.2.
Best filing practice:
call the Recorder at
630-407-5400
with the document type and filing method before issuing a check,
especially for a deed, plat, nonstandard document or multi-document package.
Illinois real-estate transfer declaration
MyDec and PTAX-203 for a DuPage County Property Transfer
Illinois uses MyDec at MyTax Illinois for electronic
real-property transfer declarations in participating counties.
MyDec is used by individuals, law firms, title companies and settlement
agencies to create and process applicable transfer declarations.
IL
Official Illinois MyDec Guide
PTAX-203, PTAX-203-A and PTAX-203-B.
Open MyDec
Determine whether the transfer requires PTAX-203.
Illinois generally requires PTAX-203 for real-estate transfers unless
an applicable statutory exemption permits an exemption notation instead.
Collect all applicable PINs.
Illinois instructions require parcel identifiers for the property being transferred.
Enter the property and sale information.
Select the correct instrument type.
Illinois instructions distinguish deed types from ownership forms such
as joint tenancy or tenancy in common.
Use the deed’s legal description.
PTAX-203 instructions specifically call for the legal description from the deed.
Enter seller, buyer and preparer information.
Complete any required supplemental declaration.
Return to the DuPage Recorder filing workflow.
MyDec prepares the transfer declaration; it does not replace recording the deed.
When Can PTAX-203-A or PTAX-203-B Matter?
PTAX-203-A
Illinois requires this supplemental form with PTAX-203 for certain
transactions where the sale price exceeds $1 million and the
property’s current use falls within specified nonresidential
categories such as qualifying apartment, office, retail,
commercial or industrial uses.
PTAX-203-B
Used in certain transfers of beneficial interests in real property
made through instruments other than a deed or trust document.
State + county + possibly municipal requirements
Illinois and DuPage Real Estate Transfer Tax
Illinois imposes a real-estate transfer tax on applicable property transfers.
State law also permits counties to impose a county transfer tax of
$0.25 per $500 of value or fraction thereof.
A home-rule municipality can also impose its own real-estate transfer tax.
That means the county Recorder filing is not always the only transfer-tax
step.
Local example: Naperville.
The City of Naperville currently requires either a Real Estate Transfer
Tax Stamp or an exempt stamp for incorporated Naperville properties
before recording with the county.
Naperville currently lists its purchase transfer-tax rate as
$1.50 per $500 of purchase price.
The requirement applies only to incorporated Naperville properties.
Naperville county-border trap:
Naperville lies in both DuPage and Will counties. Confirm the actual
county of the parcel before choosing the Recorder. A Naperville mailing
address alone does not prove the property belongs in the DuPage Recorder’s office.
Free homeowner monitoring
DuPage County Property Fraud Alert
DuPage County offers a Property Fraud Alert program that
monitors Recorder filings and can alert registered property owners when
a document matching their registration information is recorded.
Illinois law requires counties to maintain a property-fraud alert system.
An alert is an early-warning tool—it does not prevent a fraudulent document
from being submitted and does not itself invalidate a recorded document.
Open the county Property Fraud Alert resource.
Register the property-owner information requested by the system.
Use accurate PIN / parcel information where required.
Choose a reliable alert method.
When an alert arrives, independently open the Recorder Search.
Do not click an unexpected payment or login link from an unknown message.
Find the new recording.
Save document number, parties, date and document type.
Escalate an unauthorized recording promptly.
Preserve the image and contact appropriate county/law-enforcement
or legal resources.
Fraud Alert does not replace title monitoring or legal action.
If a forged deed or fraudulent lien appears, the legal validity of the
instrument can require court or law-enforcement action.

DuPage-specific shortcuts
Local Tips That Save Time
Use the PIN before owner name when you have it.
The Recorder portal supports direct PIN searching.
Address search is built into the Recorder portal.
You do not always need to convert an address into an owner name first.
Property Transfer History can reveal the document number.
Search the county property database first when you only need the deed
from a known sale.
Search lender names for old mortgage chains.
The Recorder provides a dedicated Bank Name field.
Land-trust researchers should use the Trust Number field.
This is particularly useful in Illinois where property can be held in land trusts.
Use document groups.
Do not review hundreds of results when you only need a mortgage release
or mechanics lien.
Digital images start March 16, 1961.
Treat older title research as a separate historical workflow.
Save the document number immediately.
Once identified, it is stronger than repeatedly searching a person’s name.
Naperville can mean DuPage or Will County.
Verify the parcel’s county before trying to record a Naperville deed.
Naperville has its own transfer-stamp process.
Incorporated Naperville property requires the applicable city stamp or exempt stamp.
Do not trust an old Recorder fee article.
Illinois changed the statutory predictable-fee system in 2024.
Use the Research line for difficult historical records.
Call 630-407-5401 with specific names, PIN and date clues.

10 DuPage Recorder questions
DuPage County IL Recorder FAQs
1. What is the official DuPage County Recorder search website?
Use the DuPage County Recorder’s official Digital Imaging System at
recorder.dupagecounty.gov. The direct Search Documents page allows
searches by name, bank, trust number, subdivision or business name,
street address, Property Index Number, document number, document
group/type and recording-date range.
2. How far back do DuPage County Recorder online records go?
The current DuPage Recorder website states that its online Digital
Imaging System provides indexed documents and digital images beginning
March 16, 1961. Older title research may require book/page references,
archived records or help from the Recorder’s research staff.
3. Can I search DuPage County deeds by property address?
Yes. The Recorder’s live search includes Property Information fields
for Street Number, Street Direction, Street and City. If the address
search does not identify the correct record, use the DuPage Property
Records Search to find the PIN and then repeat the Recorder search
using the Property Index Number.
4. Can I search the DuPage Recorder by PIN?
Yes. The Recorder search has a dedicated Property Index Number field.
You can obtain the PIN through DuPage County’s Property Records Search
using the property’s address. Searching by PIN can be more precise than
searching a common owner name.
5. How do I find the deed document number for a DuPage property?
One useful route is to search the property in DuPage County’s Property
Records Search and open Property Transfer History or Sales information.
Many transaction entries display the deed type, grantor, grantee,
recorded date and Recorder document number. You can then use that number
in the Recorder’s direct Document Number search.
6. How do I check whether a DuPage mortgage was released?
Locate the original Mortgage recording and save its document number.
Then search later records using the Mortgagee/Mortgagor and Release
categories and look for a Mortgage Release or related release document.
Open the release image and verify that it refers to the correct original
mortgage recording.
7. Do I need MyDec or PTAX-203 to record a DuPage County deed?
Illinois generally requires PTAX-203 for real-estate transfers unless
an applicable statutory exemption permits an exemption notation instead.
MyDec is the Illinois electronic system used to prepare and process
applicable PTAX-203, PTAX-203-A and PTAX-203-B declarations. Check the
transaction’s exact requirements before presenting the deed for recording.
8. How much does it cost to record a deed in DuPage County?
DuPage recording charges follow Illinois’s current predictable-fee
framework and county-approved fees. Do not rely on an older fee table
citing repealed Illinois recorder statutes. The DuPage Recorder’s FY2026
budget also identifies ongoing fee and online-system changes. Call
630-407-5400 or check the current Recorder information immediately
before preparing payment.
9. Does DuPage County have a property fraud alert?
Yes. DuPage County offers a Property Fraud Alert program for property
owners. The service can alert registered users when a document matching
their registration information is recorded. It is an early-warning
system and does not itself prevent or invalidate a fraudulent recording.
10. Where is the DuPage County Recorder of Deeds office?
The DuPage County Recorder of Deeds is located at 421 N. County Farm Road,
Wheaton, Illinois 60187. Elizabeth Chaplin is the current Recorder.
The main office number is 630-407-5400 and the research line is
630-407-5401. Search the document online and save its document number
before visiting whenever possible.
