In Cook County, Illinois, which covers part of Chicago, we hold 23 septic records. Parcels there are not yet classified septic against sewer, so this page reports documents held and nothing beyond them. Chicago also extends into DuPage County, which are reported separately below and are not included in that figure.
Chicago is a city in Cook and DuPage Counties, Illinois. The Census Bureau puts its internal point at 41.837045, -87.684939 and its land area at 227.75 square miles. Septic permitting and record keeping happen at the county level, not the city level, which is why every figure below is attributed to the county and linked back to the county page it came from.
