McHenry & McHenry County specifics

McHenry has about 27,000 residents and spans McHenry and Nunda townships in McHenry County. A plat of subdivision is reviewed under the city’s subdivision and zoning ordinances and, once approved, recorded with the McHenry County Recorder in Woodstock, the county seat. The Fox River and the nearby Chain O’Lakes bring FEMA Special Flood Hazard Areas that influence how lots and drainage easements are drawn. A licensed Illinois Professional Land Surveyor sets and certifies the lots, streets, and easements before the plat is recorded.

What McHenry-area clients say

Frequently asked questions

The city of McHenry is in McHenry County, so an approved plat is recorded with the McHenry County Recorder in Woodstock, the county seat.

It can. Riverfront and Chain O’Lakes land may lie within FEMA Special Flood Hazard Areas that limit buildable area and require drainage easements on the plat.

Recording places the new lot configuration in the county land records so the lots can be conveyed, permitted, and referenced in future deeds.
