Cabery sits at the western edge of Kankakee County on the open prairie, well away from the Kankakee River corridor. Its flood exposure is generally modest and connected to local drainage rather than a major river. Where a parcel falls within a FEMA Special Flood Hazard Area, an Elevation Certificate documents how a building relates to 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 Cabery, home to about 232 residents with its Kankakee County portion in Pella Township, occupies far western prairie farmland rather than a riverbank, so its flood concerns center on smaller drainageways. 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 the Kankakee County portion of Cabery are recorded through the Kankakee County Recorder of Deeds in Kankakee. On the far-western county edge, Cabery’s lots generally fall outside mapped flood areas.
Cabery sits on far western Kankakee County prairie away from the Kankakee River, so its flood exposure is generally limited to local drainage.
You would typically need one only if a specific parcel is mapped into a Special Flood Hazard Area or if a lender or insurer requests elevation documentation.
The surveyor’s Illinois license is what allows them to certify the elevations, giving the completed FEMA form its authority for insurance and map decisions.
