Martinton sits in eastern Iroquois County near the Iroquois River, in an area where the river and its low ground shape the local floodplain. Riverside parcels can fall within a FEMA Special Flood Hazard Area, and an Elevation Certificate documents how a building relates to the Base Flood Elevation. For property near the water, it is a practical reference for insurance and permit decisions.
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.
The village of Martinton, home to about 334 residents in Martinton Township, lies in eastern Iroquois County near the Iroquois River, where the mapped floodplain follows the river corridor and its low ground. 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 support a Letter of Map Amendment. Deeds for Martinton parcels are recorded by the Iroquois County Recorder of Deeds at the county seat in Watseka. Given its position near the Iroquois River, Martinton owners should confirm a parcel’s floodplain status.
Yes, Martinton lies in eastern Iroquois County near the Iroquois River, where low ground can fall within mapped Special Flood Hazard Areas.
The floodplain administrator uses its measured elevations to confirm a building will meet the required height above the Base Flood Elevation before approving the permit.
It is the height floodwater is expected to reach during the base flood shown on FEMA’s map, and the certificate measures your lowest floor against it.
