Beaverville sits in northeastern Iroquois County near the Indiana line, in the Iroquois River watershed on the prairie. Local channels can carry flood risk to nearby low ground, though the village lies away from the main river. An Elevation Certificate documents how a building relates to the Base Flood Elevation for insurance and permitting.
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 Beaverville, home to about 306 residents in Beaverville Township, occupies northeastern Iroquois County prairie in the Iroquois River watershed, where local creeks shape the mapped floodplain more than the main 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 support a Letter of Map Amendment. Deeds for Beaverville parcels are recorded by the Iroquois County Recorder of Deeds at the county seat in Watseka. Along the state line on flat prairie, Beaverville sees mapped flood areas mainly near its creeks.
Beaverville sits in the northeastern Iroquois County prairie within the Iroquois River watershed but away from the main river, so its flood exposure is generally tied to local creeks.
A licensed Illinois Professional Land Surveyor certifies the measured elevations, which gives the FEMA form its authority for insurance and map decisions.
The measurements do not expire on their own, but a fresh certificate may be needed after a map revision, a building change, or an insurer request.
