Waukegan is the seat of Lake County and its largest city, home to about 89,321 residents in Waukegan and Warren townships along the Lake Michigan shore. As the county’s administrative center, it is where Lake County property records are handled, giving surveys here a direct connection to the recording office. Its mix of historic neighborhoods, industry and waterfront makes an accurate plat of survey a practical necessity for building, fencing and transfers.
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.
With roughly 89,321 residents, Waukegan is both the largest city and the county seat of Lake County, and it is where the Recording Division of the Lake County Clerk’s Office accepts recorded plats and deeds. The city spans Waukegan and Warren townships along Lake Michigan. It sits in the Des Plaines River watershed that drains the eastern and central county, so some Waukegan parcels fall within FEMA Special Flood Hazard Areas that a plat of survey helps identify. Across the city’s older residential blocks, industrial districts and lakefront, a current survey confirms the boundaries, easements and setbacks needed for permits, improvements and closings.
Yes. Waukegan is the Lake County seat, and the Recording Division of the Lake County Clerk’s Office located here records plats and deeds for parcels throughout the county.
Selling or refinancing, adding a structure, installing a fence, or developing a parcel in Waukegan generally requires a current plat of survey to confirm boundaries and easements.
Waukegan lies in the Des Plaines River watershed, so some parcels sit in mapped FEMA flood hazard areas; a plat of survey shows how a lot’s boundaries relate to those zones.
