Winnetka is an affluent North Shore village of roughly 12,500 residents entirely within New Trier Township, set along Lake Michigan. Its large, historic lots and steady renovation activity make a plat of survey a frequent requirement for building and boundary work.
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.
Winnetka, home to about 12,500 residents in New Trier Township, sits along the North Shore north of Chicago. Its plats of survey and deeds are recorded at the Cook County Clerk’s Recordings Division, which consolidated the former Recorder of Deeds functions in December 2020. The village’s larger, long-established lots often carry mature landscaping, older homes, and easements that predate current features, so surveys are commonly ordered to confirm lines, easements, and setbacks before additions or rebuilds. Parcels near the lakefront and area ravines and drainageways should be reviewed against FEMA Special Flood Hazard Areas in the MWRD-managed system.

Additions and rebuilds are reviewed against setbacks and lot coverage, and a current plat of survey confirms exactly where the lines and easements sit.
It captures the boundaries, buildings, driveways, and other improvements along with easements, which can be easy to overlook on a bigger, landscaped parcel.
It is recorded with the Cook County Clerk’s Recordings Division in Chicago.
