Deerfield straddles the West Fork of the North Branch Chicago River and the Des Plaines River watershed boundary, with several creeks draining the village. Parcels along those channels can fall within FEMA Special Flood Hazard Areas where an Elevation Certificate applies.
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 Pi Surveying process — clear, sealed, and ready for your project.
Deerfield has about 19,196 residents in West Deerfield Township, part of Lake County (a small part extends into Cook County), whose seat is Waukegan. Local creeks and river tributaries create mapped floodplain, and a licensed surveyor’s Elevation Certificate ties a building’s lowest-floor elevation to the Base Flood Elevation. That record enables accurate flood-insurance rating, supports floodplain-development permits, and can back a Letter of Map Amendment. For the Lake County portion of Deerfield, documents are recorded through the Recording Division of the Lake County Clerk’s Office.
Those along the village’s creeks and river tributaries are the most likely to fall within mapped flood hazard areas requiring an Elevation Certificate.
A small part of Deerfield extends into Cook County, but Lake County parcels are recorded through the Lake County recording office.
It is the expected flood height in the 1%-annual-chance event, which the certificate compares to your building’s floor elevations.
