Des Plaines spans several townships and a range of neighborhood ages, from early plats near the river to later subdivisions, and its boundary questions vary accordingly. A fence set decades ago or a driveway widened over time can end up sitting past the recorded line, prompting a dispute. A boundary dispute survey retraces the line from the recorded deeds and the corners found across the parcel.
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.
Des Plaines is a city of roughly 60,675 people whose limits reach across the Maine, Elk Grove, Wheeling and Northfield townships in northern Cook County. Because it developed in many phases, adjoining subdivisions sometimes meet at slightly offset lines, and older lots carry fences that no longer track their corners. The deeds, plats and prior surveys that anchor a retracement are recorded with the Cook County Clerk’s Recordings Division. Recovering the corners and squaring them with that record is what lets a surveyor state where a contested line lies.

The city grew in phases across several townships, so aging fences and widened driveways can drift off the recorded line. A boundary dispute survey in Des Plaines retraces the platted boundary and shows how existing features relate to it.
Yes. It is sealed by an Illinois Professional Land Surveyor and built on deed research and field evidence, so it is prepared as defensible documentation for attorneys and courts.
The line comes from the recorded record and the monuments found, not from opinion, so it stands despite objection. It gives you a firm foundation to resolve the dispute through negotiation, an agreed line, or legal action.
