Sycamore & DeKalb County specifics

Sycamore is the county seat of DeKalb County, with a population of about 18,577 in Sycamore Township. Subdivision plats for property here are prepared to conform with the applicable subdivision and zoning ordinance and are recorded with the DeKalb County Recorder, whose office is located in the city itself. The county lies in the Kishwaukee River watershed, so parcels near the river and its branches may involve FEMA Special Flood Hazard Areas that shape easement and drainage layout. Review of lot lines, rights-of-way, and easements generally comes before recording. Because the recorder sits in Sycamore itself, Pi Surveying PLLC prepares local plats to be filed close to home once approved.

What Sycamore-area clients say

Frequently asked questions

The DeKalb County Recorder is located in Sycamore, which is the county seat, and it records subdivision plats for property throughout the county.

It shows the new lots and blocks, any streets or rights-of-way being dedicated, and the utility and drainage easements, all drawn to comply with the applicable ordinance.

It is generally needed when a parcel is divided into two or more lots, because the recorded plat creates the legal description used to convey and develop each new lot.
