HomeServicesResidential Boundary Surveys › Lake Forest, IL

Lake Forest is a Lake County city of about 19,367 residents in Moraine, Shields and West Deerfield townships, along the Lake Michigan shore in the county’s southeast. Known for large wooded estates, ravines and long-established neighborhoods, it has an unusually varied and challenging land pattern. A plat of survey is the reliable way to confirm boundaries and setbacks across that estate-scale terrain.

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.

Lake Forest & Lake County specifics

Lake Forest has roughly 19,367 residents and spans Moraine, Shields and West Deerfield townships along Lake Michigan in southeastern Lake County. Its plats and deeds are recorded with the Recording Division of the Lake County Clerk’s Office in Waukegan, the county seat to the north. The eastern county drains through ravines toward Lake Michigan and the Des Plaines River, so some Lake Forest parcels sit within or near FEMA flood hazard areas that a plat of survey helps identify. Because Lake Forest features large estate lots on wooded, ravine-cut terrain, a current survey is especially valuable for confirming boundaries, easements and setbacks before building or selling.
