How do I request a Williamsville police report?

Where do I find property deeds, ownership and tax records?

Deeds and mortgages are recorded by the Sangamon County Recorder of Deeds, a duty of the county clerk in many counties. Property is assessed by the township assessor or the county supervisor of assessments, and the Sangamon County Treasurer mails and collects the tax bills.

Who issues Williamsville birth, death and marriage certificates?

The Sangamon County Clerk issues certified birth, death and marriage certificates for events in the county, usually over the counter. The Illinois Department of Public Health Division of Vital Records in Springfield also issues birth and death certificates by mail, which takes about 12 weeks.
