Bridgeview occupies low ground near the Des Plaines River and Cal-Sag corridors on the southwest side, giving parts of the village real flood exposure. Several of its industrial and residential parcels sit within or beside mapped Special Flood Hazard Areas tied to those waterways. A FEMA Elevation Certificate is the instrument that measures and records a building’s elevation against the Base Flood Elevation for both 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.

Bridgeview is a village of about 17,000 residents spanning Lyons, Stickney, Palos, and Worth Townships in southwestern Cook County. Its drainage connects to the Des Plaines River and the Cal-Sag Channel within the system overseen by the Metropolitan Water Reclamation District (MWRD). Flood exposure is notable along these corridors, so low parcels near the water carry meaningful risk while the rest of the village carries less. An Elevation Certificate gives a Bridgeview owner the verified elevation data insurers rely on, the record the village needs for floodplain-permit review, and the basis for a Letter of Map Amendment when a building sits above the Base Flood Elevation.
