Wauconda is built around Bangs Lake and lies in the Fox River watershed of western Lake County. Low-lying parcels around the lake and its tributaries 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.
Wauconda is home to roughly 14,084 residents in Wauconda Township, part of Lake County, seated at Waukegan. Bangs Lake and Fox River watershed tributaries create mapped floodplain, and a surveyor’s Elevation Certificate documents a building’s lowest-floor elevation against the Base Flood Elevation. Owners use it to rate flood insurance, comply with floodplain-development permits, and support a Letter of Map Amendment. Wauconda survey records around Bangs Lake are entered through the Recording Division of the Lake County Clerk’s Office.
Parcels around Bangs Lake and the village’s Fox River tributaries can fall within mapped flood hazard areas, where an Elevation Certificate documents building elevations for insurance and permits.
It is the water-surface elevation expected in the 1%-annual-chance flood, which the certificate compares to your building’s floor elevations.
A licensed professional land surveyor performs the measurements and certifies the FEMA form.
