Chebanse straddles the line between Kankakee and Iroquois Counties in the southern reach of the Kankakee side, set on the prairie away from the main river corridor. Its flood exposure is generally tied to local drainage rather than a major river. Where a parcel falls within a FEMA Special Flood Hazard Area, an Elevation Certificate documents the building’s height 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.

The village of Chebanse, with roughly 398 residents on its Kankakee County side in Chebanse Township, sits on prairie farmland rather than a riverbank, so its flood concerns focus on smaller drainageways instead of the Kankakee River. When a parcel is mapped into a Special Flood Hazard Area, a FEMA Elevation Certificate from a licensed Illinois surveyor records the lowest floor against the Base Flood Elevation, which insurers use for rating and the floodplain administrator uses for permit review. A certificate showing the structure above the Base Flood Elevation can also support a Letter of Map Amendment. Deeds for the Kankakee County portion of Chebanse are recorded by the Kankakee County Recorder of Deeds at the county seat in Kankakee. Beyond its low drainage lines, the Kankakee-side parcels of Chebanse generally sit outside mapped flood areas.
Chebanse straddles the county line, so parcels on the Kankakee County side are recorded with the Kankakee County Recorder of Deeds in Kankakee.
Chebanse sits on prairie farmland away from the Kankakee River, so its flood exposure is generally tied to local drainage rather than a major river.
It compares the building’s surveyed lowest floor to the Base Flood Elevation shown on the FEMA flood map for the parcel.
