Riverwoods & Lake County specifics

Riverwoods has roughly 3,790 residents and spans Vernon and West Deerfield townships within Lake County, seated at Waukegan. A subdivision plat must conform to the village subdivision and zoning ordinance and pass local review before it is recorded through the Recording Division of the Lake County Clerk’s Office. Because the Des Plaines River runs through the area with mapped floodplain, floodplain notes and drainage easements can appear on plats. Pi Surveying carries out the boundary survey and plat preparation a Riverwoods project needs.

It divides a parcel into lots, blocks, streets, and easements on a recordable map so those lots can be permitted and conveyed.
