Coal City lies in southern Grundy County near the Mazon River drainage, with a portion of the community extending into Will County. Parcels along the Mazon and local low-lying ground can be mapped into a FEMA Special Flood Hazard Area, while higher ground carries more limited exposure. A FEMA Elevation Certificate records 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.

Coal City has a population of roughly 5,571, primarily in Coal City Township in southern Grundy County, with part of the community reaching into Will County. The Mazon River and associated low-lying drainage shape the local flood mapping, so FEMA Special Flood Hazard Areas here tend to follow those channels rather than a large river corridor. For a parcel that falls inside a mapped flood zone, a licensed surveyor completes the Elevation Certificate by measuring the lowest-floor and grade elevations against the Base Flood Elevation, which insurers use to rate coverage and the county uses in floodplain permitting. A structure documented above the flood level can use the certificate to support a Letter of Map Amendment. For the Grundy County portion of Coal City, records are handled by the Grundy County Recorder’s Office in Morris.
