This page helps with a Property Search in Peoria County, Illinois by pointing you to the official tools used for parcel tax records, GIS property information, and recorded land documents.

Peoria County Property Tax Inquiry
The Peoria County Property Tax Inquiry is the main self-service tool for parcel-based property search. It supports parcel search, advanced parcel search, and mobile home search.
Have one or more of these details ready before searching:
- Parcel number, with or without dashes
- Owner last name as it appears on the tax bill
- House number and street name without a direction or suffix
Use less information when possible. Entering too much detail can prevent a match if the wording is not exact.
- Select the search type that matches the record you need.
- Enter at least one search field.
- Review matching parcels and open the parcel detail page.
- Check the overview, billing, assessments, exemptions, taxing bodies, payment history, and sales history sections as needed.
Search tip: the parcel number is the most direct search method when you have it.
Parcel details and tax bill information
A parcel detail page may include the parcel number, site address, owner name and mailing address, tax year, land use, property class, tax code, tax status, net taxable value, tax rate, total tax, township, acreage, legal description, billing, assessments, exemptions, taxing bodies, payment history, and sales history.
The tax inquiry also shows payment-related dates and status. For 2025 taxes payable in 2026, the listed installment due dates are:

Office roles for property search
Different Peoria County offices handle different parts of a property search. Use the tax inquiry for current parcel tax details, GIS for mapped property characteristics, the Supervisor of Assessments for assessment-related questions, and the County Clerk for recorded land documents, tax rate calculation, and tax redemption after tax sale.
The County Clerk’s property tax page states that the Clerk calculates tax rates applied to property taxes and redeems taxes that were sold at the tax sale. The Peoria County Tax Redemption page explains that current-year taxes are collected by the Treasurer from April through November, and sold taxes are redeemed through the County Clerk after the tax sale.
Tax redemption and sold taxes
For delinquent taxes sold at the annual tax sale, the County Clerk handles redemption. A redemption must be paid in one payment; partial payments and payment plans are not allowed.
Acceptable forms of payment for redemption are cashier’s check, money order, or cash. Personal, business, mortgage, and title company checks are not accepted. Certified checks and money orders should be made payable to “Peoria County Clerk.”
Redemption payment can be mailed or paid in person to the Peoria County Clerk at 324 Main St, Room 101, Peoria, IL 61602. Include the parcel’s PIN with the payment.
