Schiller Park sits in Leyden Township along the Des Plaines River near O’Hare, where the river corridor and low-lying industrial and residential land create mapped flood exposure. A FEMA Elevation Certificate documents a building’s floor elevation against the Base Flood Elevation for flood-insurance and permit purposes.
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.

Schiller Park is a village of about 11,700 residents in Leyden Township, northwest Cook County, along the Des Plaines River near O’Hare International Airport. The river, part of the drainage system managed by the Metropolitan Water Reclamation District (MWRD), creates Special Flood Hazard Areas through the parts of the village nearest its banks. Properties near the river face the clearest exposure, while areas set back on higher ground carry more limited risk. Affected owners use the certificate for the surveyed elevations an insurer needs, for confirmation of compliance with Schiller Park’s floodplain-permit process, and as the basis of a Letter of Map Amendment (LOMA) once a structure is documented above the Base Flood Elevation.

Yes, along the Des Plaines River, where the corridor creates mapped Special Flood Hazard Areas; areas farther from the river carry less exposure.
Yes. Any structure in a mapped flood zone, residential or commercial, uses the Elevation Certificate to rate flood insurance and document floodplain-permit compliance.
The surveyor documents the building’s elevations relative to the Base Flood Elevation, which helps clarify how the structure should be rated and whether a LOMA is appropriate.
