Romeoville sits along the Des Plaines River and the Sanitary & Ship Canal on the county’s east side, so parcels near that industrial river-and-canal corridor carry meaningful FEMA flood exposure. Inland residential areas away from the channel are typically at lower risk. A surveyed elevation is what distinguishes the two on any given lot.
A FEMA Elevation Certificate documents your building’s elevation relative to the Base Flood Elevation on the FEMA flood map. Insurers use it to rate flood policies and communities use it to confirm floodplain compliance; it can also support a Letter of Map Amendment (LOMA) to remove a structure from a flood zone.

Romeoville, population near 39,863, falls in Lockport Township within Will County, with reach into DuPage, Plainfield and Wheatland townships. The village borders the Des Plaines River and the Sanitary & Ship Canal, and FEMA Special Flood Hazard Areas follow those waterways along the eastern edge of town. A FEMA Elevation Certificate, prepared by an Illinois-licensed surveyor, records how a structure’s lowest floor compares to the Base Flood Elevation, which lets an insurer rate flood coverage correctly, supports floodplain-permit review by the village, and can back a Letter of Map Amendment. Deeds for Romeoville properties are filed with the Will County Recorder of Deeds.
Parcels close to the Des Plaines River and Sanitary & Ship Canal are the most likely to sit within a FEMA Special Flood Hazard Area, so an Elevation Certificate is often needed there.
A LOMA is FEMA’s official determination that a specific property is above the Base Flood Elevation and can be removed from the mapped flood zone; an Elevation Certificate provides the survey evidence for it.
Lenders generally require flood insurance for federally backed loans on structures in a Special Flood Hazard Area, and the Elevation Certificate is what the insurer uses to set that rate.
