Forest Park is a compact, densely built village just west of Chicago, home to about 14,000 residents on closely drawn lots. As a fully developed inner suburb, its boundaries were platted long ago and a survey brings them current for any building project. A plat of survey is a practical requirement for Forest Park owners 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.
The Pi Surveying process — clear, sealed, and ready for your closing or permit.
Forest Park counts roughly 14,000 residents and is coextensive with Proviso Township in near-west Cook County. The village is fully developed with a dense mix 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. Recorded plats for Forest 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. Forest Park sits within the Des Plaines River drainage managed by the Metropolitan Water Reclamation District, so parcels near the river corridor can fall within FEMA Special Flood Hazard Areas.
Official resources for Forest Park property owners
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.
Parcels near the river corridor in Forest Park may fall within a FEMA Special Flood Hazard Area, which a surveyor can identify and document if needed.
Recorded plats for Forest Park property are filed with the Cook County Clerk’s Recordings Division, which records for all of Cook County.
