Cicero is a densely built inner-ring town where century-old bungalows, two-flats and light-industrial buildings sit shoulder to shoulder just west of Chicago. When an owner here adds a second story, replaces a structure or reworks a commercial lot, a topographic survey records the existing grades and features that a compact parcel leaves little room to guess at. That elevation detail lets engineers design drainage that works despite the tight lot lines.
A topographic survey maps the elevations, contours and natural and man-made features of a site — grades, structures, utilities, trees and drainage — giving architects and engineers the data they need to design accurately and secure permits.

Home to roughly 85,000 residents, Cicero is a town coextensive with Cicero Township and one of the most densely populated communities in Cook County. It lies immediately west of Chicago, and property transactions are recorded through the Cook County Clerk’s Recordings Division. The terrain across town is notably flat and drains toward the Chicago and Des Plaines river systems, so grading and stormwater control depend on the precise elevation differences a topographic survey reveals. On Cicero’s small, long-established lots, that data is what allows an addition or rebuild to shed water away from neighbors and the public way.

Yes; on compact, closely spaced parcels the exact elevations of the yard, walks and adjacent structures determine how water moves, and a topographic survey gives your engineer that information for a workable grading and drainage plan.
It records ground elevations and contours plus physical features like the house, garage, driveway, fences, trees and visible utility structures, all delivered in CAD format.
For many design and permit projects, yes; the boundary survey fixes the property lines and the topographic survey supplies elevations and site features, and they are commonly performed together.
