Harvey is a south Cook County city of about 20,000 with a long industrial and rail heritage, situated within the county’s southern drainage belt. Its mix of older residential neighborhoods and industrial ground makes accurate boundary work important across property types. A plat of survey gives Harvey owners a precise account of their lines and easements.

What a plat of survey shows

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.

When Harvey property owners need a plat of survey

Buying or selling a home — most Harvey closings require a current plat of survey
Fences, decks, sheds and additions — Harvey requires one for permit applications
Boundary questions — confirming a line before a neighbor builds, or resolving an encroachment
Refinancing or title work — lenders and title companies frequently request an updated survey

Harvey & Cook County specifics

Harvey has a population near 20,000 and spans Thornton and Bremen Townships in south Cook County. Founded as a planned industrial community, the city includes older platted residential blocks alongside commercial corridors and industrial parcels, so surveys range from tight residential setbacks to larger sites with layered easements. Recorded plats for Harvey properties are filed with the Cook County Clerk’s Recordings Division following the 2020 consolidation of the Recorder of Deeds. The city drains through the Calumet system under the Metropolitan Water Reclamation District, and some parcels near the waterways may fall within FEMA Special Flood Hazard Areas that a survey can identify.

What Harvey-area clients say

I've used Pi Surveying a few times (once in the sale of my home and another in the purchase of my current home) and have to say I'm extremely satisfied with the service they provided. They were extremely detail oriented, experienced, and delivered an exceptional survey with very little effort on my part! From first call to job completion, they were always available and very communicative. Will definitely be calling them if I need them again!

This service is superb! I needed a survey done quickly. I had a deadline and I was out of options. Someone referred me to Pi Surveying and they were so easy to work with. They were competitively priced, quick to get the job done and reliable. Their customer service is top notch! I highly recommend!

Pi Surveying delivered exactly what we needed, on time and without any hassle. From the initial call to receiving our final survey documents, the process was smooth and straightforward. You can tell this team knows what they're doing — over 40 years of combined experience really shows in the quality and accuracy of their work. Highly recommend to anyone in the Chicagoland area!

We were very happy with the services provided by Pi Surveying. They came out quickly for a survey that I needed to get in order to put up a fence on our property. We were in a rush because the HOA would start fining us if we didn't get it done before the end of the month. They were awesome! Very highly recommend this company.

Pi Surveying helped me in the process of buying my commercial building. As a first time buyer, they were very helpful and efficient in taking care of the surveying part. My point of contact was very responsive and I would definitely recommend them and use them again. Great overall experience.

My wife and I were pleased with the Land Surveying services that Pi Surveying provided. The surveyor took the time to explain everything on the survey and what our property boundaries looked like legally. They were professional, courteous and efficient throughout the entire process. We highly recommend them!

Found myself in a bind after discovering some issues with a property. My real estate attorney pointed me towards Pi and I will do the same for anyone else! They were able to get me taken care of when I was in a time crunch, and didn't rake me over the coals with pricing. Standup company, honest, and have earned my business for life. Thanks guys!

Frequently asked questions

Why is a survey valuable for Harvey's mixed property types?

Harvey combines residential, commercial, and industrial parcels, and a plat of survey documents boundaries and easements accurately for each, supporting permits, sales, and redevelopment.

Which townships does Harvey fall within?

Harvey spans Thornton and Bremen Townships, though recording of plats is handled county-wide by the Cook County Clerk’s Recordings Division.

Do some Harvey parcels sit in flood zones?

Parcels near the Calumet drainage can fall within FEMA Special Flood Hazard Areas, which a licensed surveyor can determine and, if needed, document with an elevation certificate.
