Every Illinois farm sale on a map

Every price here is a recorded sale: what the state's transfer record says was paid once the sale closed. Auction sales count once recorded. Asking prices and auction bids that did not close are never shown.

Sources and terms

Every state

A sale is listed when it carries a price and acres and a whole interest changed hands in a normal sale: gifts, family and related-party sales, quit claims, foreclosures and the like are left out, the same rule as Field Scout and the Farmland Atlas. Township and town are where the state places the sale; no parcel is pinned. None of this is an appraisal.

Names

Buyer and seller names are public record on the state's transfer return. They load only when you tap, and are not shown to search engines. If one is yours and you want it off this site, tap Remove my name beside it.

Illinois

Illinois Department of Revenue, MyDec transfer declarations (PTAX-203), farm parcels, read Nov 3, 2026. A farm sale is a farm parcel on a MyDec transfer declaration. Left out: gifts, family and related-party sales and anything less than the whole interest.
