Limestone lies in western Kankakee County, set on the higher ground of the interior away from the main Kankakee River corridor. Its flood exposure is generally tied to local creeks and drainage rather than a major river. Where a parcel falls within a FEMA Special Flood Hazard Area, an Elevation Certificate documents the building’s height 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.

The village of Limestone, with roughly 1,558 residents in Limestone Township, occupies interior Kankakee County ground rather than a riverbank, so its flood concerns focus on smaller drainageways instead of the Kankakee River. When a parcel is mapped into a Special Flood Hazard Area, a FEMA Elevation Certificate from a licensed Illinois surveyor records the lowest floor against the Base Flood Elevation, which insurers use for rating and the floodplain administrator uses for permit review. A certificate showing the structure above the Base Flood Elevation can also support a Letter of Map Amendment. Deeds for Limestone parcels are recorded by the Kankakee County Recorder of Deeds at the county seat in Kankakee. Away from its interior creek lines, most Limestone parcels sit outside mapped flood areas.
Limestone lies in the interior of western Kankakee County away from the river, so its flood exposure is generally tied to local drainage rather than a major river.
It is the height floodwater is expected to reach during the base flood, and the certificate measures your lowest floor against it to determine insurance rating and permit compliance.
A licensed Illinois Professional Land Surveyor certifies the measured elevations, which is what gives the document standing with insurers and FEMA.
