The village of Iroquois sits in eastern Iroquois County near the Indiana line, close to the Iroquois River that gives both the community and the county their name. Riverside low ground 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 river, it is a practical reference 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 village of Iroquois, home to about 158 residents in Concord 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 Iroquois parcels are recorded through the Iroquois County Recorder of Deeds at the county seat in Watseka. Named for the river beside it, the village of Iroquois warrants a floodplain check for lots near the water.
