Elgin spreads along both banks of the Fox River in northern Kane County, combining a historic urban core with newer residential subdivisions on its expanding west side. Bringing land into the market as lots means preparing a plat of subdivision that arranges lots, blocks, streets, and easements to municipal standards. Pi Surveying PLLC prepares recordable subdivision plats for developers and owners dividing property in Elgin.
A plat of subdivision divides a parcel into lots, blocks, streets and easements in compliance with the municipality’s subdivision and zoning ordinances, then is recorded with the county. It is the foundation of any residential or commercial development.
The Pi Surveying process — clear, sealed, and ready for your project.
Elgin has a population of about 115,000, and the portion in Kane County falls within Hanover Township. A plat of subdivision must satisfy the city’s subdivision and zoning ordinances and clear its review before being recorded with the Kane County Recorder in Geneva, the county seat. The Fox River runs through Elgin, bringing FEMA Special Flood Hazard Areas that shape how lots and drainage easements are drawn. A licensed Illinois Professional Land Surveyor draws the lots, streets, and easements and certifies the plat so it is recordable.
For the Kane County portion of Elgin, the approved plat is recorded with the Kane County Recorder in Geneva. Elgin also reaches into Cook County, which records separately.
Both divide land, but any division into new legal lots is done through a plat of subdivision that lays out and records the lots, streets, and easements under city ordinances.
Yes. Drainage and utility easements are shown on the plat so the city and utilities have defined rights and future building stays clear of them.
