Channahon takes its name from the point where the Des Plaines and Kankakee Rivers join to form the Illinois River, so this community has some of the most direct river-flood exposure in the county. Parcels near those converging channels sit within mapped FEMA floodplain. A surveyed elevation is essential for any building close to the water.
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.

Channahon, population roughly 13,383, is centered in Channahon Township within Will County, extending partly into Grundy County. It lies at the confluence where the Des Plaines and Kankakee Rivers form the Illinois River, and FEMA Special Flood Hazard Areas line those river corridors. A FEMA Elevation Certificate, prepared by an Illinois-licensed surveyor, documents a building’s lowest floor against the Base Flood Elevation, giving insurers a basis to rate flood coverage, the village a way to confirm floodplain-permit compliance, and owners the evidence for a Letter of Map Amendment. Deeds for the Will County portion are recorded with the Will County Recorder of Deeds.
Yes. Channahon sits at the junction of the Des Plaines and Kankakee Rivers where they form the Illinois River, so riverside parcels carry substantial FEMA flood exposure.
It is the water-surface height FEMA expects in a one-percent-annual-chance flood at your location; the Elevation Certificate reports how your building compares to it.
The Will County Recorder of Deeds records the Will County portion of Channahon; the Grundy County Recorder handles the Grundy County portion.
