Batavia lines both banks of the Fox River in the central Fox Valley, so its riverfront and low-lying parcels carry FEMA flood exposure. Areas rising away from the river sit at lower risk. Because the floodplain follows the channel, a surveyed elevation is the dependable way to know a lot’s status.
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.

Batavia, population near 26,098, is centered in Batavia Township within Kane County. The Fox River flows through the community, and FEMA Special Flood Hazard Areas trace that corridor and connecting creeks. A FEMA Elevation Certificate, prepared by a licensed Illinois surveyor, documents a structure’s lowest floor against the Base Flood Elevation, giving insurers the data to rate flood coverage, the city a basis to confirm floodplain-permit compliance, and owners the evidence for a Letter of Map Amendment. Deeds for Batavia parcels are recorded with the Kane County Recorder in the county seat of Geneva.
The parcels closest to the Fox River and its tributaries fall within the FEMA Special Flood Hazard Area; properties on higher ground away from the river generally do not.
