Cortland is a town of about 4,400 just east of DeKalb, in the heart of DeKalb County. It has seen residential growth push out from its older center, so plats of survey here often reconcile newer subdivision lots with the surrounding countryside. The document establishes exactly where a parcel’s lines run before an owner builds or sells.
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.
Cortland lies in Cortland Township in central DeKalb County, a short distance from both DeKalb and the county seat at Sycamore, where land records are kept. Plats of survey for Cortland are recorded with the DeKalb County Recorder / Clerk & Recorder. The county is drained principally by the Kishwaukee River, and mapped flood hazard areas follow that system, so parcels near those waterways should be evaluated for floodplain limits. Cortland’s growth means surveyors here frequently locate corners in newer subdivisions while also handling larger parcels on the edges of town.
Yes. Cortland sits in central DeKalb County near both DeKalb and the county seat, Sycamore, where the Recorder’s office keeps land records and files plats.
Even in newer subdivisions, a plat of survey confirms the exact location of a specific lot’s corners, improvements, and easements, which buyers and lenders often require.
Buying or selling, obtaining a building permit, adding onto a home, or resolving a boundary question are all common reasons owners order one.
