Addison is bisected by Salt Creek, which has produced repeated flooding along the village’s central corridor over the years. Structures within the Salt Creek FEMA Special Flood Hazard Area are frequent candidates for an Elevation Certificate.
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.

With roughly 35,702 residents, Addison spans Addison and York townships in DuPage County, whose seat and government center are in Wheaton. Salt Creek runs through the community and creates a significant mapped floodplain, so a surveyor’s Elevation Certificate records a building’s lowest-floor elevation against the Base Flood Elevation. That measured record supports accurate flood-insurance rating, satisfies floodplain-development permit conditions near the creek, and can back a Letter of Map Amendment. Addison’s completed survey paperwork is recorded through the DuPage County Recorder of Deeds.
Salt Creek has caused recurring flooding along parts of Addison, and buildings within its mapped flood hazard area commonly rely on an Elevation Certificate for insurance and permitting.
Floodplain-development permits for work in a mapped flood hazard area usually require elevation data, which the certificate provides, so it is often a prerequisite.
It is the lowest enclosed floor of the building, including a basement, which FEMA uses as the key reference point when comparing to the Base Flood Elevation.
