Summit is a west-suburban village of roughly 11,200 residents, spanning Lyons and Stickney townships along the Des Plaines River and canal corridor. Its dense, older lots and waterway proximity make a plat of survey valuable for boundary and flood questions alike.
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.
Summit, with about 11,200 residents across Lyons and Stickney townships, sits along the Des Plaines River and the Sanitary and Ship Canal southwest of Chicago. Its plats of survey and deeds are recorded through the Cook County Clerk’s Recordings Division, which took over the Recorder of Deeds functions in December 2020. The village’s older, closely built lots carry decades of fence, garage, and addition work, so a survey frequently clarifies encroachments and easements an aging plat may miss. Given the nearby river and canal, low-lying parcels should be reviewed against FEMA Special Flood Hazard Areas in the MWRD-managed watershed, which can matter for construction and insurance.
Official resources for Summit property owners
The village sits near the Des Plaines River and canal corridor, so some parcels fall in FEMA flood-hazard areas that a survey and that mapping together clarify.
Common reasons are a sale, a fence or addition permit, and boundary disputes with adjoining owners.
