Illinois Property Report · removal requests

Remove your name

The Illinois Property Report shows owner and taxpayer names, and the buyer and seller on each sale, to signed-in accounts. They come from the Cook County Assessor's public records. You can ask us to stop showing them for your property.

How to ask

Email contact@alderworksllc.com with the property's street address (and city, if it isn't Chicago). You don't need to explain why.

We usually act within two business days. After that, the report shows “Owner asked not to be listed” instead of names and mailing addresses for that address, and the same address is left out of the owner details in Rootstone contractor lists.

Judges, officers and protected persons

If the law entitles you to keep your home address private (for example as a judge, a law-enforcement officer, or a participant in the Illinois Address Confidentiality Program), say so in your email and we'll handle it first. We don't ask for proof to withhold a name.

This only changes what we show. The records themselves are kept by the Cook County Assessor and the Cook County Clerk; corrections to them have to be made there. Building facts, violations and permits stay on the report, because they are about the building, not a person.
