Glencoe is an affluent North Shore village on Lake Michigan, home to about 9,000 residents in leafy, established neighborhoods. Its high property values and mature, sometimes wooded lots make precise boundary work a frequent need for additions and rebuilds. A plat of survey gives Glencoe owners an exact record of their lines and buildable area.
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.
Glencoe counts roughly 9,000 residents and spans New Trier and Northfield Townships along the Lake Michigan shore in north Cook County. The village is characterized by large, often heavily landscaped lots and substantial homes, where teardown-and-rebuild activity and additions make exact lot-line and easement placement essential. Recorded plats for Glencoe properties are filed with the Cook County Clerk’s Recordings Division after the 2020 merger of the Recorder of Deeds into the Clerk’s office. Fronting Lake Michigan and drained through ravines and channels within the Metropolitan Water Reclamation District’s area, some Glencoe parcels near the lakefront or drainageways can fall within FEMA Special Flood Hazard Areas.

Glencoe’s large, wooded lots and frequent rebuilds make precise boundaries essential. A plat of survey establishes the exact buildable envelope and easements so a new home or addition fits within the recorded lines.
Glencoe reaches into New Trier and Northfield Townships, though recording of plats is handled county-wide by the Cook County Clerk’s Recordings Division.
Parcels near Lake Michigan or local ravines and drainageways may fall within a FEMA Special Flood Hazard Area, which a surveyor can determine and document if required.
