Palatine blends established single-family neighborhoods with a walkable downtown around its Metra station and pockets of commercial and multifamily development. Land that changes here typically does so through infill: splitting a deep residential lot, replatting a redevelopment site near the train, or reconfiguring an aging commercial parcel. Each of these requires a plat of subdivision that lays out the new lots, easements and any dedicated right-of-way for recording.

Palatine & Cook County specifics

With roughly 67,900 residents, Palatine lies mostly within Palatine Township, extending into Wheeling Township, in the northwest corner of Cook County. Subdivision proposals are reviewed by the village against its subdivision regulations and zoning code, often alongside a rezoning or variance request when the new lots differ from surrounding zoning. Approved and signed plats are then recorded through the Cook County Clerk’s Recordings Division. Confirming the governing township and any transit-oriented overlay early helps a plat move smoothly through village review.

What Palatine-area clients say

I've used Pi Surveying a few times (once in the sale of my home and another in the purchase of my current home) and have to say I'm extremely satisfied with the service they provided. They were extremely detail oriented, experienced, and delivered an exceptional survey with very little effort on my part! From first call to job completion, they were always available and very communicative. Will definitely be calling them if I need them again!

This service is superb! I needed a survey done quickly. I had a deadline and I was out of options. Someone referred me to Pi Surveying and they were so easy to work with. They were competitively priced, quick to get the job done and reliable. Their customer service is top notch! I highly recommend!

Pi Surveying delivered exactly what we needed, on time and without any hassle. From the initial call to receiving our final survey documents, the process was smooth and straightforward. You can tell this team knows what they're doing — over 40 years of combined experience really shows in the quality and accuracy of their work. Highly recommend to anyone in the Chicagoland area!

We were very happy with the services provided by Pi Surveying. They came out quickly for a survey that I needed to get in order to put up a fence on our property. We were in a rush because the HOA would start fining us if we didn't get it done before the end of the month. They were awesome! Very highly recommend this company.

Pi Surveying helped me in the process of buying my commercial building. As a first time buyer, they were very helpful and efficient in taking care of the surveying part. My point of contact was very responsive and I would definitely recommend them and use them again. Great overall experience.

My wife and I were pleased with the Land Surveying services that Pi Surveying provided. The surveyor took the time to explain everything on the survey and what our property boundaries looked like legally. They were professional, courteous and efficient throughout the entire process. We highly recommend them!

Found myself in a bind after discovering some issues with a property. My real estate attorney pointed me towards Pi and I will do the same for anyone else! They were able to get me taken care of when I was in a time crunch, and didn't rake me over the coals with pricing. Standup company, honest, and have earned my business for life. Thanks guys!

Frequently asked questions

Can I split a large residential lot in Palatine into two buildable parcels?

Potentially, if the resulting lots meet the zoning district’s minimum area and width. This division is handled through a plat of subdivision reviewed by the village and recorded with Cook County.

What is included on a plat of subdivision?

It shows the new lot and block lines, dimensions, dedicated streets, and utility and drainage easements, all tied to a boundary survey so the parcels are legally defined.

Does downtown Palatine have special subdivision considerations?

Redevelopment near the Metra station may fall under transit-oriented zoning provisions, which can affect lot layout. Reviewing those provisions before drafting the plat avoids revisions later.
