Ottawa sits where the Fox River meets the Illinois, a historic canal-and-river town that still anchors LaSalle County’s civic life. New lots here tend to fill in around established residential streets or extend the edges of the city as it grows outward from the old core. A plat of subdivision is what turns a larger holding into recordable, buildable parcels under the city’s ordinance.
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.
Ottawa is the LaSalle County seat, with a population near 18,840, and its municipal government sits across parts of South Ottawa, Dayton, Rutland and Wallace townships. Any plat that splits ground into lots, blocks, streets or easements is reviewed against the city’s subdivision and zoning ordinance and, once approved, recorded with the LaSalle County Recorder of Deeds in Ottawa. In a river town of this size, projects range from modest infill divisions on existing streets to larger tracts opened up along the community’s growing edges. Pi Surveying prepares the plat and the field survey it depends on so the record matches the approved layout.
For property in Ottawa it is recorded with the LaSalle County Recorder of Deeds, since Ottawa is the LaSalle County seat. City approval under the subdivision and zoning ordinance comes first, then the signed plat is recorded.
It shows the new lot and block lines, any dedicated streets or rights-of-way, and the easements that serve the parcels, all tied to a boundary survey so the recorded document reflects real, monumented lines on the ground.
Yes. A plat that creates lots, streets or easements must satisfy the municipal subdivision and zoning requirements before it can be recorded, so the survey and drafting are done to meet those standards.
