Wonder Lake is a village in central McHenry County built around its namesake man-made lake, giving it a distinctly recreational-water character. Its lakefront and lake-adjacent parcels make floodplain and boundary surveys especially relevant. A plat of survey helps owners document where their property sits relative to the lake and their neighbors.

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 Wonder Lake property owners need a plat of survey

Buying or selling a home — most Wonder Lake closings require a current plat of survey
Fences, decks, sheds and additions — Wonder Lake 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

Wonder Lake & McHenry County specifics

Wonder Lake has roughly 4,000 residents and sits within Greenwood Township, also touching the McHenry and Hartland townships in central McHenry County. Plats and deeds for the village are recorded with the McHenry County Recorder in Woodstock to the south. Because the community centers on a lake within the Fox River watershed, lakeside and low-lying parcels should be checked against FEMA mapping, with preliminary county maps released in 2024. Given the lake-oriented layout, plats of survey here commonly address waterfront boundaries and fence, addition and accessory-structure permits.

What Wonder Lake-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!
