Gilberts is a fast-growing village in northern Kane County drained by tributaries of the Fox River rather than the main river channel. Its FEMA flood exposure is limited to those smaller corridors. Most of the newer development sits on higher ground, and a surveyed elevation confirms the exceptions.
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.

Gilberts, with about 8,366 residents, lies in Rutland Township with reach into Dundee Township, within Kane County. Local drainage runs through creeks feeding the Fox River, and FEMA Special Flood Hazard Areas here follow those tributary corridors. A FEMA Elevation Certificate, completed by a licensed surveyor, documents a building’s lowest floor against the Base Flood Elevation so insurers can rate any required flood coverage, the village can confirm permit compliance, and owners can pursue a Letter of Map Amendment. Deeds for Gilberts parcels are filed with the Kane County Recorder in Geneva.
Gilberts’ flood exposure is limited and tied to Fox River tributaries; much of the village lies outside the FEMA Special Flood Hazard Area.
It documents your building’s elevation relative to the Base Flood Elevation for flood insurance, floodplain permits, and map amendment requests.
A licensed Illinois professional land surveyor measures the elevations and certifies FEMA’s Elevation Certificate form.
