Berwyn is a dense, historic near-west suburb famous for its long rows of bungalows on a tight urban grid. With nearly every block already platted, a plat of subdivision here is far more likely to reconfigure or split existing parcels, or re-plat a commercial corridor site, than to create a brand-new subdivision. The city’s mature fabric leaves little raw land for large-scale platting.
A plat of subdivision divides a parcel into lots, blocks, streets and easements in compliance with the municipality’s subdivision and zoning ordinances, then is recorded with the county. It is the foundation of any residential or commercial development.
The Pi Surveying process — clear, sealed, and ready for your project.
Berwyn counts roughly 57,000 residents in the coterminous Berwyn Township, making it one of the more densely populated communities in western Cook County. Because the grid is essentially complete, subdivision activity focuses on lot splits, consolidations, and redevelopment along commercial streets rather than new tracts. A plat of subdivision must conform to the city’s subdivision and zoning ordinances covering lot area, setbacks, and easements before it can advance. Once approved, the plat is recorded with the Cook County Clerk’s Recordings Division, which merged the Recorder of Deeds into the Clerk’s office in December 2020, fixing the new lot lines in the county land records.

A plat of survey maps an existing parcel and its improvements; a plat of subdivision divides land into new lots and is recorded to bring them into legal existence.
Yes. The plat must satisfy Berwyn’s subdivision and zoning ordinances and be approved before it is recorded with the Cook County Clerk’s Recordings Division.
