Oak Brook is crossed by Salt Creek, which winds through the village and its surrounding open space and has a recurring flood history in the corridor. Buildings within the Salt Creek FEMA Special Flood Hazard Area are frequent candidates for an Elevation Certificate.
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.

Oak Brook is home to roughly 8,163 residents and sits in Proviso Township within DuPage County, whose seat is Wheaton. Salt Creek forms a significant mapped floodplain through the community, so a surveyor’s Elevation Certificate documents a building’s lowest-floor elevation against the Base Flood Elevation. Owners use it to rate flood insurance, satisfy floodplain-development permits, and support a Letter of Map Amendment. Oak Brook recording of the finished survey runs through the DuPage County Recorder of Deeds.
Salt Creek winds through Oak Brook and creates a mapped floodplain, so parcels within the hazard area commonly need an Elevation Certificate for insurance and permitting.
It records a building’s flood-zone designation and the surveyed elevations of the lowest floor and reference points relative to the Base Flood Elevation.
When it shows the structure is at or above the Base Flood Elevation, the certificate can support a lower flood-insurance rating.
