Grayslake sits amid a cluster of natural lakes and wetlands in central Lake County, within the Des Plaines River watershed. Low-lying parcels around those lakes and channels can fall within FEMA Special Flood Hazard Areas where an Elevation Certificate applies.
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.
The Pi Surveying process — clear, sealed, and ready for your project.
Grayslake has about 21,248 residents in Avon Township (also Warren Township), part of Lake County, whose seat is Waukegan. The village’s lakes and Des Plaines River tributaries create mapped floodplain, and a licensed surveyor’s Elevation Certificate documents a structure’s lowest-floor elevation relative to the Base Flood Elevation. That record supports accurate flood-insurance rating, floodplain-development permit compliance, and a Letter of Map Amendment. Grayslake documents are recorded through the Recording Division of the Lake County Clerk’s Office.
Grayslake sits among natural lakes and wetlands, and parcels along their shores fall within mapped flood hazard areas where an Elevation Certificate documents building elevations.
The surveyor measures the lowest-floor and reference elevations and ties them to the Base Flood Elevation on the FEMA form.
It is FEMA’s determination that a specific structure lies outside the mapped floodplain, supported by the certificate’s elevation data.
