HomeServicesPlat of Subdivision › Markham, IL

Markham is a south-suburban city of residential neighborhoods, commercial corridors, and some open and industrial land near major expressways. Subdivision here mixes redevelopment of commercial and industrial sites with platting of remaining developable parcels. A plat of subdivision divides the tract into recordable lots, blocks, streets and easements consistent with city planning.

Markham & Cook County specifics

Markham has about 11,700 residents across the Bremen and Thornton townships in southern Cook County, within the Calumet drainage system. Because of that setting, some parcels fall within FEMA flood hazard areas that shape drainage easements and lot layout. The city reviews subdivision plats under its ordinances, and approved plats are recorded with the Cook County Clerk’s Recordings Division. Confirming floodplain status and the governing township early helps a Markham plat proceed.

What Markham-area clients say

Frequently asked questions

Markham lies across the Bremen and Thornton townships, so the governing township depends on where a parcel sits.

It can. Parcels in the Calumet drainage system may fall within FEMA flood hazard areas, which influences drainage easements on the plat.

Approved plats are recorded with the Cook County Clerk’s Recordings Division.
