Oakwood Hills is a small wooded village in southeastern McHenry County set among small lakes and creeks in the Fox River watershed. Its FEMA flood exposure is localized to those water bodies and drainageways. Most homes sit on higher rolling terrain, and a surveyed elevation clarifies the low-lying 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.
The Pi Surveying process — clear, sealed, and ready for your project.
Oakwood Hills, population about 2,076, sits in Nunda Township within McHenry County. Local lakes and creeks drain toward the Fox River, and FEMA Special Flood Hazard Areas here follow those corridors, with county preliminary FIRMs released in 2024. A FEMA Elevation Certificate, completed by a licensed Illinois 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 Oakwood Hills parcels are recorded with the McHenry County Recorder in the county seat of Woodstock.

Its flood exposure is localized to small lakes and creeks in the Fox watershed; much of the village lies outside the FEMA Special Flood Hazard Area.
You would order one if a property sits in or near a mapped flood zone and you need to rate flood insurance, obtain a permit, or request a map amendment.
A licensed Illinois professional land surveyor measures the elevations and certifies the Elevation Certificate.
