North Chicago & Lake County specifics

North Chicago has roughly 30,759 residents and lies within Waukegan Township in Lake County, seated at Waukegan. A subdivision plat must conform to the city subdivision and zoning ordinance and pass local review before it is recorded through the Recording Division of the Lake County Clerk’s Office. Because local drainage ties into the Des Plaines River watershed, drainage easements are commonly reflected on the plat. Pi Surveying handles the survey and plat drafting that North Chicago’s process demands.
