Antioch sits at the far northwestern corner of Lake County within the Chain O’Lakes and Fox River system, near the Wisconsin border. Low-lying parcels around the lakes and channels can fall within FEMA Special Flood Hazard Areas where an Elevation Certificate applies.
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.
Antioch has about 14,622 residents in Antioch Township, part of Lake County, whose seat is Waukegan. The Chain O’Lakes and Fox River watershed create extensive mapped floodplain in the area, and a licensed surveyor’s Elevation Certificate ties a building’s lowest-floor elevation to the Base Flood Elevation. That record enables accurate flood-insurance rating, supports floodplain-development permits, and can back a Letter of Map Amendment. Antioch documents tied to the Chain O’Lakes are recorded through the Recording Division of the Lake County Clerk’s Office.
Antioch lies within the Chain O’Lakes and Fox River system, where lakeside and channel parcels fall within mapped flood hazard areas and often need an Elevation Certificate.
It is a FEMA form completed by a surveyor documenting a building’s elevation relative to the Base Flood Elevation for insurance and floodplain purposes.
