HomeServicesResidential Boundary Surveys › Sycamore, IL

Sycamore is the seat of DeKalb County and a city of roughly 18,500 just northeast of DeKalb. As the county’s records hub, it combines a historic platted core with newer residential growth on its margins. A plat of survey here helps owners understand how their parcel relates to both older lot lines and recent development before they build or transfer property.

What a plat of survey shows

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.

Sycamore & DeKalb County specifics

Sycamore sits in Sycamore Township and serves as the DeKalb County seat, home to the Recorder’s office where local plats of survey are filed. The county is drained principally by the Kishwaukee River, and its Special Flood Hazard Areas follow the mainstem and branches, so parcels near those waterways call for attention to floodplain boundaries. Being the county seat, Sycamore sees survey work spanning downtown and older residential blocks with established corners as well as newer subdivisions where lots were platted more recently. Confirming easements, setbacks, and improvement locations is standard practice for owners here.

What Sycamore-area clients say

Frequently asked questions

Sycamore is the county seat, so the DeKalb County Recorder / Clerk & Recorder is located here and plats of survey for the county are recorded through that office.

A plat of survey identifies the parcel’s boundary lines, the position of buildings and improvements, and recorded easements or setback lines that affect the property.

Older platted blocks can have long-established corners and monuments that a surveyor retraces carefully, which is a routine part of work in a historic county seat like Sycamore.
