The Rockford Register Star collects the area's most complete set of building permits and real estate transactions for Winnebago, Boone and Ogle counties in Illinois. You can search back to Jan. 1, 2005, to find out how much your neighbor's house sold for, what vacant land in Loves Park is worth or who bought a high-profile business.

The Register Star gives you the most up-to-date records available. Because many municipalities release transactions and permits days or even weeks after they occurred, some lag time will be reflected in the database.
