Cortland & DeKalb County specifics

Cortland is a town of approximately 4,398 residents in Cortland Township, DeKalb County. A plat of subdivision for property here follows the applicable subdivision and zoning ordinance and is recorded with the DeKalb County Recorder in the county seat of Sycamore. Because DeKalb County lies in the Kishwaukee River watershed, parcels near the river or its branches may fall within FEMA Special Flood Hazard Areas relevant to easement and drainage design. Review of lot layout and easement dedications generally precedes recording. For Cortland’s expanding neighborhoods, Pi Surveying PLLC prepares plats built to record without a hitch.
