Niles is a built-out inner-suburban village of roughly 30,900 residents just north of Chicago, spanning Niles and Maine townships. On its closely spaced lots, a plat of survey is often the deciding document for setbacks, fences, and boundary questions.
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.
Niles, with about 30,900 residents across Niles and Maine townships, borders Chicago’s northwest side. Deeds and plats of survey are recorded at the Cook County Clerk’s Recordings Division, which took over the Recorder of Deeds functions in December 2020. Because many lots here are older and modest in size, a survey commonly reveals a fence, garage, or addition sitting close to or across a recorded line, which matters for permits and sales. Additions and rebuilds trigger setback review that a current survey supports. Parcels near the North Branch of the Chicago River corridor should be checked against FEMA Special Flood Hazard Areas within the MWRD system.

It resolves where the lot lines run relative to fences, garages, and additions, which is essential for permits, sales, and neighbor boundary questions.
Fence permitting typically depends on a current plat of survey so the property line and easements are documented before installation.
