Elmwood Park is a compact, densely populated village just west of Chicago, home to about 25,000 residents on closely drawn lots. As a fully built-out inner suburb, its boundaries were platted decades ago and a survey brings them current for any project. For Elmwood Park owners, a plat of survey is a practical requirement before building or selling.
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.

Elmwood Park counts roughly 25,000 residents and is coextensive with Leyden Township in near-west Cook County. The village is fully developed with a dense pattern of single-family homes and two-flats on modest lots, where garages and additions often sit near the platted line and encroachments turn up regularly. Plats recorded for Elmwood Park properties are filed with the Cook County Clerk’s Recordings Division after the Recorder of Deeds merged into the Clerk’s office in 2020. Elmwood Park lies within the Des Plaines River drainage managed by the Metropolitan Water Reclamation District, so while much of the village is outside the floodplain, a survey remains the reliable way to confirm setbacks on its tight urban lots.

The village’s compact lots leave little clearance between structures and the boundary, so a plat of survey precisely locates improvements and confirms the setbacks available before an addition, garage, or fence goes in.
Most do. A current plat of survey lets the buyer and title company verify the lot dimensions and check for encroachments before a sale completes.
Recorded plats for Elmwood Park property are filed with the Cook County Clerk’s Recordings Division, which records for all of Cook County.
