FOIA Request to Will County Recorder Of Deeds Regarding Property Sales Records/Transactions on May 2, 2025.
As part of our commitment to providing comprehensive and accurate news coverage on local governmental affairs, Prairie State Wire has submitted a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request to the Will County Recorder Of Deeds. The request seeks access to a list of all properties and their most recent sales, along with all available metadata related to these transactions. Specifically, we have requested details such as the Recorded Instrument ID, Transaction Date, Transaction Amount, Transaction Type, Buyer Name, and Seller Name.
Our role in gathering and reporting news is essential for holding public institutions accountable and ensuring transparency. Access to public records allows us to fulfill our professional responsibilities effectively. Given our status as a media organization, we believe we are eligible for a fee waiver under the Illinois Freedom of Information Act.
This request is made in collaboration with The Coalition Opposing Governmental Secrecy, a non-profit organization dedicated to assisting media companies and public advocacy groups in investigating governmental agencies through Freedom of Information and Sunshine Laws. More information about this coalition can be found at [stopsecrecy.org](https://stopsecrecy.org/about/).
We look forward to receiving the requested information promptly and appreciate any assistance provided by the Will County Recorder Of Deeds in facilitating this process.
