Burlington is a very small village in northwestern Kane County surrounded by farmland and drained by minor creeks rather than a major river. Its FEMA flood exposure is minimal. Nearly all parcels sit well outside mapped floodplain, and a surveyed elevation resolves any question near a drainageway.
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.

Burlington, with roughly 535 residents, is centered in Burlington Township within Kane County. The surrounding rural land drains through small creeks toward the Fox and Kishwaukee systems, and FEMA Special Flood Hazard Areas here are minimal and confined to those corridors. In the rare case a building is near mapped floodplain, a FEMA Elevation Certificate completed by a licensed surveyor compares its lowest floor to the Base Flood Elevation, which insurers use to rate flood coverage, the village uses for permit review, and owners use to pursue a Letter of Map Amendment. Deeds for Burlington parcels are recorded with the Kane County Recorder in the county seat of Geneva.
Flood exposure in Burlington is minimal, limited to small rural creek corridors; nearly all parcels lie outside the FEMA Special Flood Hazard Area.
The surveyor measures the building’s floor and grade elevations and certifies them against the Base Flood Elevation on FEMA’s form.
If it supports a Letter of Map Amendment showing the structure above the Base Flood Elevation, FEMA may remove the property from the zone, which can end a mandatory insurance requirement.
