Palatine sits in the northwest corner of Cook County with about 67,900 residents, a village that grew from a rail town into a sprawling residential and commercial suburb. Because so much of that growth happened in successive subdivision waves, a plat of survey is the practical way to confirm exactly where one owner’s land ends and the next begins.
A plat of survey is a drawing, signed and sealed by a licensed Illinois land surveyor, that locates the corners and boundary lines of your lot and depicts the buildings, driveways, fences and recorded easements on the property. It is the document lenders, title companies and municipal permit desks rely on.
The Pi Surveying process — clear, sealed, and ready for your closing or permit.
Home to roughly 67,900 people, Palatine lies mostly within Palatine Township and extends into Wheeling Township in Chicago’s northwest suburbs. Its finished plats of survey, deeds, and easement documents are recorded at the Cook County Clerk’s Recordings Division, the countywide office that replaced the Recorder of Deeds in December 2020. Established residential blocks here often carry decades of small changes, so fence-line disputes, garage additions, and setback questions are common reasons a homeowner orders a survey before pulling a village permit. Older platted lots can also have easements that predate current landscaping, which a field survey brings back to light, and low-lying parcels near local drainageways warrant a check against FEMA flood-hazard areas within the MWRD-managed watershed.

Palatine’s permitting for fences generally relies on a current plat of survey so the property line and any easements are clear before the fence is set.
The Cook County Clerk’s Recordings Division maintains recorded plats, deeds, and easements for Palatine and the rest of Cook County.
