1. Do you have a list of contractors that you recommend?

The City does not make specific recommendations but we are able to provide you with a list of electrical contractors who are registered in the City of Sycamore.

2. How are building setbacks measured?

Setbacks are measured from the property line. Setbacks are not measured from the street, curb or sidewalk. If you are unsure of the location of your property lines, you should refer to your plat of survey or have a licensed land surveyor locate your property pins.

3. How do I get a plat of survey for my property?

First, check your records from when you purchased your property to see if you requested a plat of survey at your closing.  If you are unable to locate your plat of survey, contact a licensed land surveyor to perform a survey to create a plat of your property.  The City of Sycamore does not provide plats of survey for private properties.
