Braceville is a village in southern Grundy County, in Braceville Township, set on level ground away from the Illinois River corridor to the north, with part of the community extending into Will County. Flood exposure is generally limited, though low-lying or drainage-adjacent parcels can fall within a FEMA Special Flood Hazard Area. A FEMA Elevation Certificate documents a building’s elevation against 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.

Braceville has a population of about 724, primarily in Braceville Township in southern Grundy County, with part of the community reaching into Will County. Its distance from the Illinois River corridor means mapped Special Flood Hazard Areas here are limited and generally tied to specific low-lying drainage rather than a broad river floodplain. For a parcel inside a mapped flood zone, a licensed surveyor completes the Elevation Certificate by measuring the lowest floor and grade against the Base Flood Elevation, so insurers can rate coverage and the county can review a floodplain permit. A building documented above the flood level can use the certificate to support a Letter of Map Amendment. For the Grundy County portion of Braceville, records are handled by the Grundy County Recorder’s Office in Morris.
Not broadly. Braceville sits away from the Illinois River in southern Grundy County, so mapped flood risk is generally limited to specific low-lying or drainage-adjacent parcels.
For the Grundy County portion of Braceville, documents are recorded with the Grundy County Recorder’s Office in Morris; Will County parcels are recorded in Will County.
It is generally required when a building is in or near a FEMA Special Flood Hazard Area for insurance rating, floodplain construction permitting, or a Letter of Map Amendment request.
