Northfield is a North Shore-adjacent village of roughly 5,800 residents, spanning Northfield and New Trier townships north of Chicago. Its established, often wooded lots make a plat of survey a common step for building, sales, and boundary work.
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.
Northfield, home to about 5,800 residents across Northfield and New Trier townships, sits in the affluent northern suburbs of Cook County. Its plats of survey, deeds, and easements are recorded at the Cook County Clerk’s Recordings Division, which replaced the Recorder of Deeds in December 2020. The village’s mature, sometimes wooded lots carry older homes and easements that predate current landscaping, so surveys are frequently ordered to confirm lines, easements, and setbacks before additions or rebuilds. Parcels near the Middle Fork of the North Branch of the Chicago River and area drainage should be reviewed against FEMA flood-hazard mapping in the MWRD-managed watershed.

Additions and rebuilds are reviewed against setbacks and lot coverage, and a current plat of survey confirms where the lines and easements sit.
It can uncover encroachments and older easements hidden by mature landscaping, both of which affect permits and sales.
