Public record, with a person to ask

Every parcel in Shelby, Moultrie and Effingham counties

Any address, any parcel number — whether or not it is for sale. The boundary on the aerial, the county assessor's record, and every arm's-length sale recorded on it, from the county's own records. And at the bottom of every one, someone at this office who works that county.

What a parcel page shows, and where it comes from

The boundary is approximate — the same lines the county's own map shows, drawn over aerial imagery. It is a reference, not a survey. The record is the assessor's: acreage, property class, township, and the assessed value the county taxes on. The sales are the transfer declarations recorded with the county when a deed is filed (Illinois form PTAX-203), arm's-length sales only; the county's record we hold begins in 2017 (Effingham, 2013).

What a parcel page never shows: the owner's name, and any estimate of value. Both are deliberate. If you want to know what a parcel would bring, ask — that is what the form at the bottom of every page is for.
