North Chicago is an older lakefront city with a dense grid of long-platted blocks, where narrow lots and decades-old fences frequently put property lines in question. A garage or fence set generations ago can differ from the recorded boundary in ways neighbors dispute. A retracement weighs the deed and recorded plat against the monuments to establish the true line.
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.
North Chicago, with about 30,759 residents, lies within Waukegan Township (also Shields) in Lake County, whose seat is Waukegan. The plats and prior surveys that govern city lots are filed with the Recording Division of the Lake County Clerk’s Office, the record consulted before fieldwork. Because the city’s grid was platted long ago and lots are relatively tight, maintained fence lines here often diverge from the surveyed line. Pi Surveying recovers the grid-lot corners and stakes the recorded line so a narrow-lot encroachment is settled on evidence.
A licensed surveyor recovers the recorded monuments and marks the true line to survey-grade precision, which matters most on narrow lots where a few inches decide an encroachment.
The Recording Division of the Lake County Clerk’s Office in Waukegan, the county seat, holds the deeds, plats, and prior surveys used to retrace North Chicago boundaries.
Yes. A boundary dispute survey retraces the boundary and shows whether the fence sits on, over, or short of your property line.
