Geneva, the Kane County seat, is built along the Fox River with a historic riverfront downtown, so its low-bank parcels carry FEMA flood exposure. Residential streets climbing away from the river sit at lower risk. A surveyed elevation is the tool that separates a floodplain lot from a high-and-dry one here.
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.

Geneva, population about 21,393 and the seat of Kane County, sits in Geneva Township along the Fox River. The river runs through the heart of the city, and FEMA Special Flood Hazard Areas line that corridor and its feeder streams. A FEMA Elevation Certificate, prepared by a licensed Illinois surveyor, documents a building’s elevation against the Base Flood Elevation so insurers can rate flood coverage, the city can confirm floodplain-permit compliance, and owners can pursue a Letter of Map Amendment. As the county seat, Geneva is also home to the Kane County Recorder, where deeds for these properties are filed.
Yes. Geneva is the Kane County seat and home to the Kane County Recorder, which records deeds for properties throughout the county, including Geneva itself.
Parcels along the Fox River in Geneva fall within the FEMA Special Flood Hazard Area, so those low-bank properties carry flood exposure.
It gives your insurer the certified elevation data needed to rate the policy accurately based on how your lowest floor compares to the Base Flood Elevation.
