HomeServicesPlat of Subdivision › Waukegan, IL

Waukegan is the seat of Lake County and its largest city, with a lakefront, an industrial legacy, and redevelopment areas where larger parcels are reworked into new lots. A plat of subdivision is the recordable map that divides a tract into lots, blocks, streets, and easements before development or lot sales can move ahead.

Waukegan & Lake County specifics

Waukegan has about 89,321 residents and lies within Waukegan Township, and it serves as the Lake County seat. A subdivision plat must satisfy the city subdivision and zoning ordinance and receive local approval before it is recorded through the Recording Division of the Lake County Clerk’s Office in Waukegan. Because the city sits in the Des Plaines River watershed with lakefront drainage, stormwater and drainage easements are commonly detailed on the plat. Pi Surveying provides the boundary work, lot layout, and plat these approvals require.
