Durand is a village in northwestern Winnebago County, in Durand Township, near the Pecatonica River in the county’s rural northwest. Parcels close to the Pecatonica and its low-lying banks can be mapped into a FEMA Special Flood Hazard Area, while much of the village carries 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.

Durand has a population of about 1,390 in Durand Township, in the northwestern corner of Winnebago County near the Pecatonica River. Lots close to the river and low-lying drainage are the most likely in the village to fall within a FEMA Special Flood Hazard Area, while parcels on higher ground carry limited exposure. A licensed surveyor prepares the Elevation Certificate by measuring the lowest floor and grade against the Base Flood Elevation, giving insurers the basis to rate coverage and the county the data for floodplain permit review. Where a building is documented above the flood level, the certificate can support a Letter of Map Amendment. Durand survey documents are recorded through the Winnebago County Recorder in the county seat of Rockford.
