Wilmette is a North Shore village of about 28,200 residents on Lake Michigan, spanning New Trier and Northfield townships. Its established, often historic homes and lakefront setting make a plat of survey a common companion to renovation, sale, 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.
Wilmette’s roughly 28,200 residents live across New Trier and Northfield townships along Chicago’s North Shore. Plats of survey, deeds, and easements are recorded through the Cook County Clerk’s Recordings Division, which replaced the Recorder of Deeds office in December 2020. Many of the village’s lots are long-established with mature landscaping and older homes, so surveys often clarify fences, garages, and additions built near the lines over the decades, as well as easements that predate current features. Additions and teardown rebuilds rely on a current survey for setback and lot-coverage review, and parcels near the Skokie drainage and lakefront should be checked against FEMA flood-hazard areas in the MWRD watershed.
Official resources for Wilmette property owners
Additions and rebuilds are reviewed against setbacks and lot coverage, so a current plat of survey is generally needed to show the work fits the lot.
It can uncover encroaching fences or structures and easements that predate current landscaping, both of which affect permits and sales.
Recorded plats and deeds are held by the Cook County Clerk’s Recordings Division in Chicago.
