Each county has a different set of websites to check and different steps you must take to perform a thorough title search.Here are all the websites I use to search title in Cook County:Cook County Recorder of DeedsCook County Treasurer's OfficeCook County Assessor's OfficeProperty Tax PortalCook County Clerk of the Circuit CourtDelinquent Property Tax SearchAnnual Tax Sale SearchFlood Zone SearchNFIP Flood Risk ProfileChicago Building Code Violations SearchChicago Water DepartmentIn addition to checking these websites, I always call the town's building, water, and scavenger departments to determine the amount of municipal liens, unpaid bills, and code violations.If the property is under the control of an HOA, I always call the development's management company to determine the amount of unpaid or special assessments attached to the home.

The forums alone on BP are a treasure trove of information.  

One man's trash is another man's treasure.  

It's a treasure hunt. 

Feel free to jump in the community here and also take advantage of the treasure of knowledge here.

I did email the treasurer and am waiting for a reply.

Last year it was 'just' 842 homes that were double-billed last-minute as much as 62% extra causing a mayhem of erroneous delinquencies through 2022 where the Treasurer recently pocketed millions from quickly selling off tax liens created by the inflated bills  this February.It even billed a tax-exempt Nassau parish erroneously a 2nd year in a row for another half million in property taxes despite their grieving the first year's error, which seems took over a year to finally reverse the bill which added up to over a million dollars in erroneous taxes!

There is a treasure trove of info on reputable companies and brokers here so you have a lot of options.

Be careful jumpting to conclusions about Loopnet....As they say.....One man's trash is another man's treasure. 

Hi All,           I was looking forward to buying Condo in Treasure Island Florida and many offers submitted for good units are being beaten by cash offers.
