Mazon is a village in southern Grundy County that lends its name to the Mazon River, a stream draining the county’s interior toward the Illinois River. Parcels along the Mazon and its low-lying banks can be mapped into a FEMA Special Flood Hazard Area, giving river-adjacent properties genuine flood exposure. A FEMA Elevation Certificate documents 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.

Mazon has a population of about 884 in Mazon Township, in southern Grundy County, near the Mazon River that drains much of the county’s interior. Because the village lies close to this waterway, low-lying and river-adjacent parcels here can fall within a FEMA Special Flood Hazard Area more readily than in the county’s higher-ground communities. A licensed surveyor prepares the Elevation Certificate by measuring the lowest floor and grade against the Base Flood Elevation, giving insurers the figures to rate a policy and the 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 records for Mazon are handled by the Grundy County Recorder’s Office in the county seat of Morris.
Yes. Because the village of Mazon lies near the Mazon River, low-lying and river-adjacent parcels can fall within a FEMA Special Flood Hazard Area tied to that waterway.
The surveyor records the elevations of the lowest floor, mechanical equipment, and surrounding grade and compares them to the Base Flood Elevation shown on the FEMA map for the property.
It is recorded, along with any related survey plats, through the Grundy County Recorder’s Office in the county seat of Morris.
