The city of McHenry sits along the Fox River and Chain O’Lakes, combining older lake and riverside lots with newer subdivisions. Waterfront parcels often carry irregular, older descriptions that are difficult to square with modern fences and docks. A boundary dispute survey retraces the deed and monument record to pin down the true line.

What a boundary dispute survey provides

A boundary dispute survey is a careful retracement of your property lines, backed by research of deeds, prior surveys and physical evidence. It gives you — and, if needed, your attorney — a defensible determination of where the true boundary lies.

When McHenry owners need a boundary dispute survey

Fence & encroachment disputes — confirm the true line before or during a disagreement
Neighbor build conflicts — verify a line before a neighbor builds
Legal matters — provide survey evidence for attorneys and courts
Title & closing issues — resolve boundary questions that hold up a sale

McHenry & McHenry County specifics

McHenry is a city of about 27,000 residents in McHenry Township, also touching Nunda Township, McHenry County. Its deeds, plats, and prior surveys are recorded with the McHenry County Recorder in the county seat of Woodstock. The Fox River and Chain O’Lakes run through the area with FEMA-mapped flood zones along the corridor, so accurate boundary location matters for waterfront and near-water parcels. A retracement drawn from that recorded history resolves a contested line here.

What McHenry-area clients say

I've used Pi Surveying a few times (once in the sale of my home and another in the purchase of my current home) and have to say I'm extremely satisfied with the service they provided. They were extremely detail oriented, experienced, and delivered an exceptional survey with very little effort on my part! From first call to job completion, they were always available and very communicative. Will definitely be calling them if I need them again!

This service is superb! I needed a survey done quickly. I had a deadline and I was out of options. Someone referred me to Pi Surveying and they were so easy to work with. They were competitively priced, quick to get the job done and reliable. Their customer service is top notch! I highly recommend!

Pi Surveying delivered exactly what we needed, on time and without any hassle. From the initial call to receiving our final survey documents, the process was smooth and straightforward. You can tell this team knows what they're doing — over 40 years of combined experience really shows in the quality and accuracy of their work. Highly recommend to anyone in the Chicagoland area!

We were very happy with the services provided by Pi Surveying. They came out quickly for a survey that I needed to get in order to put up a fence on our property. We were in a rush because the HOA would start fining us if we didn't get it done before the end of the month. They were awesome! Very highly recommend this company.

Pi Surveying helped me in the process of buying my commercial building. As a first time buyer, they were very helpful and efficient in taking care of the surveying part. My point of contact was very responsive and I would definitely recommend them and use them again. Great overall experience.

My wife and I were pleased with the Land Surveying services that Pi Surveying provided. The surveyor took the time to explain everything on the survey and what our property boundaries looked like legally. They were professional, courteous and efficient throughout the entire process. We highly recommend them!

Found myself in a bind after discovering some issues with a property. My real estate attorney pointed me towards Pi and I will do the same for anyone else! They were able to get me taken care of when I was in a time crunch, and didn't rake me over the coals with pricing. Standup company, honest, and have earned my business for life. Thanks guys!

Frequently asked questions

Why do waterfront lots in McHenry often need careful boundary work?

Lakefront and riverfront lots were frequently platted with irregular, shoreline-tied descriptions that are hard to reconcile with later improvements. A retracement re-establishes the recorded line from the deed and monuments.

Can a survey resolve a dispute over a fence or dock near the water?

Yes. The surveyor retraces the boundary and documents where a fence, dock, or other improvement sits relative to it, clarifying any encroachment.

Where is the McHenry city area's deed record kept?

Deeds and plats for McHenry parcels are filed with the McHenry County Recorder in the county seat of Woodstock, which the surveyor searches during the retracement.
