Cortland has expanded from a small town core into newer residential subdivisions just east of DeKalb, and where recent lots abut older parcels, the platted lines and the fences on the ground often diverge. Owners here frequently question whether a fence, corner monument, or driveway respects the deeded boundary. A retracement grounded in the recorded plat and physical evidence resolves that question.
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.
The Pi Surveying process — clear, sealed, and ready for your project.
Cortland is home to approximately 4,398 residents and sits in Cortland Township within DeKalb County, which is administered from the county seat of Sycamore. Deeds and subdivision plats for Cortland parcels are recorded with the DeKalb County Recorder / Clerk & Recorder, the office we consult to reconstruct a chain of title. The Kishwaukee River drains this area, and parcels near its channels can involve floodplain corridors that affect usable ground. When a fence or encroachment is contested in Cortland, our boundary dispute survey compares the deeded description against monuments and improvements found on site.
Even in newer subdivisions, corner monuments can be disturbed during construction or landscaping, and fences may be set slightly off the platted line. We retrace the recorded boundary and locate the improvements against it to clear up any discrepancy.
Yes. A boundary dispute survey retraces the deeded line and measures the fence’s position relative to it, showing whether the fence sits on your land, your neighbor’s, or exactly on the boundary.
Recorded deeds and plats for Cortland are held by the DeKalb County Recorder / Clerk & Recorder in Sycamore, and we pull those documents to anchor the retracement.
