Cicero is one of Cook County’s oldest and most densely built inner-ring suburbs, sitting just west of Chicago with more than 85,000 residents on a compact footprint. In a town this fully developed, lot lines were platted long ago and a plat of survey is what keeps additions, fences, and garages on the right side of them. It is a document most Cicero owners need well before a shovel goes in the ground.
A plat of survey is a drawing, signed and sealed by a licensed Illinois land surveyor, that locates the corners and boundary lines of your lot and depicts the buildings, driveways, fences and recorded easements on the property. It is the document lenders, title companies and municipal permit desks rely on.
The Pi Surveying process — clear, sealed, and ready for your closing or permit.
Home to roughly 85,000 people, Cicero is coextensive with Cicero Township and ranks among the most tightly packed municipalities in Cook County. Its housing stock leans heavily toward older frame and masonry homes on narrow city-style lots, where a garage or fence set even a foot off the recorded line can create an encroachment that surfaces at closing. Plats recorded for Cicero properties are filed with the Cook County Clerk’s Recordings Division following the 2020 merger of the Recorder of Deeds into the Clerk’s office. Because the town sits within the Des Plaines River drainage under the Metropolitan Water Reclamation District, some parcels can be touched by FEMA flood mapping, making an accurate survey useful for both zoning setbacks and flood determinations.

It shows the boundary dimensions of your Cicero lot, the location of the house, garage, fences, and other improvements, and any encroachments across the property line. On Cicero’s older, narrow lots, that detail matters for permits and sales alike.
In most cases yes. Cicero’s zoning setbacks are measured from the platted lot line, so a current plat of survey is the standard way to confirm you have the clearance a permit requires.
