Dixmoor is a small south-suburban village sitting low in the Calumet basin, where the Little Calumet River and area drainage produce real flood exposure. A share of the village’s parcels fall within mapped Special Flood Hazard Areas tied to those waterways. For an affected property, a FEMA Elevation Certificate records the building’s elevation against the Base Flood Elevation for insurance and permitting.
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.

Dixmoor is a village of roughly 3,000 residents in Thornton Township in southern Cook County. It lies within the Calumet river system near the Little Calumet River, drained under the regional stormwater authority of the Metropolitan Water Reclamation District (MWRD). Flood exposure is notable given the village’s low elevation, so parcels near the water carry meaningful risk. An Elevation Certificate supplies the elevation data insurers use to rate coverage, the documentation the village needs for floodplain permits, and the basis for a Letter of Map Amendment when a structure stands above the flood.
Official resources for Dixmoor property owners
Yes. Dixmoor sits low in the Calumet basin near the Little Calumet River, so a share of parcels fall in or near mapped flood zones.
When a building is in or near a mapped Special Flood Hazard Area, or when a lender or insurer requests one for flood coverage.
It can. Showing the lowest floor above the Base Flood Elevation lets insurers price the policy on measured data, which often reduces the premium.
