Diamond is a village in southern Grundy County, in Goose Lake Township, adjacent to Coal City and extending toward Will County. Local low-lying and creek-drained parcels can be mapped into a FEMA Special Flood Hazard Area, while much of the village sits on higher ground with limited exposure. A FEMA Elevation Certificate documents 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.

Diamond is home to about 2,640 people, primarily in Goose Lake Township in southern Grundy County, with part of the community extending into Will County. The village lies away from the Illinois River’s main channel, so its FEMA Special Flood Hazard Areas generally follow local creek drainage and low ground rather than a broad river corridor. For a parcel mapped into a flood zone, a licensed surveyor prepares the Elevation Certificate by measuring the lowest floor and grade relative to the Base Flood Elevation, giving insurers the data to rate a policy and the county the information for floodplain permit review. If the structure is above the flood level, the certificate can support a Letter of Map Amendment. For the Grundy County portion of Diamond, records are handled by the Grundy County Recorder’s Office in Morris.
For most of the village, no. Diamond sits away from the Illinois River’s main channel, so mapped flood risk is generally limited to local creek drainage and low-lying parcels.
You would need one if a lender, insurer, or the county identifies a building inside a FEMA Special Flood Hazard Area, if you are building in a floodplain, or if you seek a Letter of Map Amendment.
For the Grundy County portion of Diamond, records go to the Grundy County Recorder’s Office in Morris; Will County parcels are recorded in Will County.
