Justice is a southwest-suburban village near the Des Plaines River valley and Cal-Sag drainage, where parts of the community carry real flood exposure. Its lower parcels near those waterways can register within mapped Special Flood Hazard Areas, while higher ground sits clear. For a property near the flood zone, a FEMA Elevation Certificate establishes the building’s elevation against the Base Flood Elevation for insuring and permitting it.
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.

Justice is a village of about 12,600 residents in Lyons Township in southwestern Cook County. Its drainage is tied to the Des Plaines River and Cal-Sag corridors within the system the Metropolitan Water Reclamation District (MWRD) manages for regional stormwater. Flood exposure is present along those corridors and concentrated on the lower parcels nearest the water rather than across the village. An Elevation Certificate gives an affected owner the verified elevation data insurers rely on, the record the village needs for floodplain-permit compliance, and the foundation for a Letter of Map Amendment when a building sits above the Base Flood Elevation.
Official resources for Justice property owners
Yes, along the Des Plaines River and Cal-Sag corridors, concentrated on lower parcels near the water while higher ground in the village is less exposed.
When a building is in or near a mapped Special Flood Hazard Area, or when a lender or insurer requests one to rate a flood policy.
Yes. If it shows the lowest floor above the Base Flood Elevation, insurers can rate the policy on that measured elevation, which often lowers the premium.
