Pecatonica is a village in western Winnebago County named for the Pecatonica River that flows past it on its way to join the Rock River, giving low-lying parts of the community genuine FEMA floodplain exposure. Parcels near the Pecatonica can be mapped into a Special Flood Hazard Area. A FEMA Elevation Certificate records a building’s elevation against the Base Flood Elevation.
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.

Pecatonica has a population of about 2,090 in Pecatonica Township, in western Winnebago County along the Pecatonica River. Because the village sits close to the river, riverfront and low-lying lots here can fall within a FEMA Special Flood Hazard Area, while parcels on higher ground carry more limited exposure. A licensed surveyor completes the Elevation Certificate by measuring the lowest-floor and grade elevations against the Base Flood Elevation, giving insurers the figures to rate a policy and the village and county the data for floodplain permit review. If a structure is documented above the flood level, the certificate can support a Letter of Map Amendment. Survey documents for Pecatonica are recorded through the Winnebago County Recorder in the county seat of Rockford.
