Thornton is a small south-suburban village known for its large quarry operation alongside commercial and residential areas. Commercial and industrial transactions here, including quarry-related and other parcels, can require an ALTA/NSPS Land Title Survey. The current standards give lenders and title companies a reliable depiction of boundaries, easements and encroachments.
An ALTA/NSPS land title survey is the most detailed boundary survey, prepared to the national standards set by the American Land Title Association and the National Society of Professional Surveyors. It maps boundaries, improvements, easements, encroachments and the Table A items your lender or title company requests, and is certified to every party in the transaction.
The Pi Surveying process — clear, sealed, and ready for your project.
Thornton has about 2,400 residents and forms its own township in southern Cook County, with a prominent aggregate quarry. Its industrial and commercial parcels generate the transactions where ALTA surveys apply, while much of the village is residential. Deeds, plats and easements are recorded with the Cook County Clerk’s Recordings Division in Chicago, where the Recorder of Deeds function was merged into the Clerk’s office in December 2020, and the surveyed boundary is tied to the title commitment before closing. Industrial and quarry-area parcels here often carry rail, utility and access easements that an ALTA survey documents.
