🏠How do I look up property records in Decatur?▼
To look up property records in Decatur, IL (Macon County), contact the Macon County Recorder of Deeds at 141 South Main Street, Room 201, Decatur, IL 62523 (217-424-1359), with online searches at https://www.co.macon.il.us/. The Macon County Supervisor of Assessments at https://maconcounty.illinois.gov/departments/supervisor-of-assessments/ provides ownership, parcel, and assessed-value data.

Recording fees are about $40 first page; certified copies typically cost $1.25-$5/page. Sources: Macon County (https://www.co.macon.il.us/), IL Department of Revenue (https://tax.illinois.gov/).
📜How do I find a probated will in Argenta?▼
Probated wills in Argenta, Illinois (Macon County) are filed and copied from the Macon County Circuit Clerk Probate Division. Address: 253 East Wood Street, Decatur, IL 62523. Phone: 217-424-1454. Website: https://maconcountycircuitclerkil.com/ (under Probate). The Probate Division handles decedent's estates, guardianships, and small-estate affidavits under the Illinois Probate Act of 1975 (755 ILCS 5/). To obtain a copy: search the Circuit Clerk's case-management system by decedent name or estate number; certified copies 6 dollars first page plus 2 dollars each additional page (705 ILCS 105/27.2). Walk-in, mail, and online (re:SearchIL https://research.courts.illinois.gov/) requests accepted. Illinois opened public access to non-confidential court records statewide via re:SearchIL - Macon County is included. For the original will deposited for safekeeping (before death), see 755 ILCS 5/4-3 - sealed and only the testator may retrieve it. The Argenta Village Hall (https://www.villageofargentail.com/, 102 N Main Street, Argenta, IL 62501, 217-795-2671) holds local resident records but no probate. Illinois FOIA (5 ILCS 140/) governs access. The Illinois Courts Self-Help portal (https://www.illinoiscourts.gov/public/) explains probate filings; standard probate must be opened within 30 days of will discovery.
❓Where can I find out if the building department issues certificates of occupancy for newly constructed homes?▼
Certificates of Occupancy (CO) for new home construction in Macon County, Illinois are issued by the local building department where the property is located, not the county itself in most cases. Most Macon County jurisdictions handle their own permits: City of Decatur Building Inspections (https://www.decaturil.gov/167/Building-Inspections, 1 Gary K. Anderson Plaza, Decatur, IL 62523, 217-424-2727) issues COs for properties inside Decatur city limits - required before occupancy under Decatur Municipal Code. For unincorporated Macon County, contact the Macon County Building/Zoning Office (https://www.maconcountyil.gov/building-zoning, 141 South Main Street, Suite 401, Decatur, IL 62523, 217-424-1453) - Macon County also requires a Certificate of Occupancy/Compliance for new construction in unincorporated areas. Other Macon County municipalities (Mt. Zion, Forsyth, Argenta, Maroa, Warrensburg) each have their own building officials. Illinois adopts the IRC/IBC; per IRC R110.1, no building can be occupied until the building official issues a CO. Inspections typically required: foundation, framing, plumbing/electrical rough-in, insulation, and final. Fees vary 50-500 dollars. Public-records requests for issued COs go through the Illinois FOIA (5 ILCS 140/) at the relevant municipal clerk.
