Northwest Cook County suburbs like Arlington Heights carry decades of subdivision layers, and a fence set a generation ago rarely lands exactly on the recorded line. When a driveway, hedge or shed drifts a foot or two past the platted edge, neighbors notice and the question of where the true boundary sits becomes real. A boundary dispute survey retraces that line from the deeds and the monuments actually in the ground.
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.
Home to roughly 77,676 residents, Arlington Heights straddles the Wheeling, Elk Grove and Palatine townships in northwest Cook County. Because the village grew through successive waves of platting, adjoining subdivisions sometimes meet at slightly mismatched lines, and older interior lots can have fences that predate the current owners’ understanding of the corners. The deed, plat and prior survey records that anchor a retracement here are filed with the Cook County Clerk’s Recordings Division. Pulling that chain of title alongside the physical evidence on the ground is what lets a surveyor state, defensibly, where one property ends and the next begins.

The surveyor researches the deeds and recorded plats for both parcels, recovers the original monuments or reconstructs the corners from surviving evidence, and measures where the fence sits relative to the true line. That gives both owners a documented, professional determination of the boundary rather than an assumption, which is usually what resolves the disagreement.
Yes. A survey signed and sealed by an Illinois Professional Land Surveyor, supported by the deed research and field evidence, is prepared as a defensible record of the boundary and can be relied on by attorneys and courts. It documents the reasoning behind the line, not just a measurement.
The survey stands on the recorded evidence and monuments, so it does not change because a neighbor objects. It gives you an authoritative starting point; from there the dispute can often be resolved through discussion, an agreed boundary line, or, if necessary, the courts, with the survey as supporting documentation.
