General Information

The Recorder’s Office was created in 1839 by the First Legislative Assembly. Grundy County was formed in 1856 and the first recorded document was filed on June 9, 1856. The Recorder continues to maintain official records of documents affecting title to real estate. Every real estate transaction that takes place begins in the Recorder’s Office. One of the major duties of the office is the management of public records. As a result, accuracy and preservation of records are a must in the Recorder's Office. Instruments that are recorded are not only important for today, but serve as a historical library for all of the tomorrows.
In addition to real estate transactions, the Recorder’s Office issues boat, snowmobile and ATV registrations, titles and liens; records veterans’ discharge papers; accepts marriage applications and issues the subsequent license; issues certified copies of birth, death and marriage records as well as other numerous duties.
