Elmhurst is a DuPage city of roughly 45,786 residents that, unusually for the county, sits within Proviso Township. Positioned along the county’s eastern edge near the Cook County line, it is a densely built, largely mature community where infill construction and teardown-rebuild projects are common. Those projects lean heavily on an accurate plat of survey to keep new construction inside the lot lines and setbacks.
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.
Elmhurst counts about 45,786 residents and falls within Proviso Township near DuPage County’s eastern boundary. Recorded plats and deeds for the city are filed with the DuPage County Recorder of Deeds in Wheaton, roughly a dozen miles west at the county seat. Salt Creek runs through the Elmhurst area, and parcels near it can lie within FEMA Special Flood Hazard Areas, a fact a plat of survey helps establish before improvements begin. Because Elmhurst sees frequent teardown-and-rebuild activity on established lots, a precise survey of boundaries, easements and building lines is often the first step in a project as well as a standard requirement at closing.
When an older Elmhurst home is replaced with new construction, the plat of survey establishes the exact lot lines, easements and setbacks the new structure must respect, helping avoid encroachments and permit issues.
Even though Elmhurst lies in Proviso Township, it is part of DuPage County, so its plats and deeds are recorded with the DuPage County Recorder of Deeds in Wheaton.
Salt Creek passes through the area, so some Elmhurst parcels sit in or near a mapped flood hazard zone; a survey shows how your boundaries relate to that area.
