Oak Park is a densely built village of about 54,600 residents bordering Chicago’s west side, coextensive with Oak Park Township. Its historic housing stock and tight lots make a plat of survey especially valuable whenever construction, sales, or boundary questions arise.
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.
Oak Park is home to roughly 54,600 people within its own Oak Park Township, immediately west of Chicago. Plats of survey and property deeds are recorded through the Cook County Clerk’s Recordings Division, which consolidated the former Recorder of Deeds functions in December 2020. The village’s older, closely spaced lots and long-standing homes mean fences, garages, coach houses, and additions have frequently been built near property lines, so a survey often clarifies encroachments and easements that an old plat missed. Renovations, rebuilds, and additions on historic properties all benefit from a current survey to confirm setbacks. Parcels near the Des Plaines River corridor to the west should be checked against FEMA Special Flood Hazard Areas in the MWRD system.
Official resources for Oak Park property owners
Historic homes on tight lots often have garages, fences, and additions built close to the line, and a current plat of survey documents exactly where those improvements sit.
Additions and other exterior work are reviewed against setbacks, so a current survey is typically required to show the project fits the lot.
They are recorded with the Cook County Clerk’s Recordings Division, the countywide recording office since late 2020.
