A plat of survey is drawing that represents a single property that has been surveyed in the field and certified by an Illinois licensed land surveyor.
A plat of survey is usually required for a mortgage closing, refinancing, or building permit.
Most plats of surveys are held by either a property owner, a mortgage company, a government agency that issued a building permit, or the land surveyor that prepared it.
Plats of survey are rarely filed with the County Recorder of Deeds.
