Fox Lake sits at the heart of the Chain O’Lakes on the Fox River, making it one of the most flood-exposed communities in western Lake County. Low-lying parcels around the lakes and river fall within FEMA Special Flood Hazard Areas where an Elevation Certificate is especially relevant.
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.
Fox Lake has about 10,978 residents in Grant Township (also Antioch Township, with the village extending into McHenry County), part of Lake County, whose seat is Waukegan. The Chain O’Lakes and Fox River create extensive mapped floodplain, so a licensed surveyor’s Elevation Certificate documents a structure’s lowest-floor elevation relative to the Base Flood Elevation. That record supports accurate flood-insurance rating, floodplain-development permit compliance, and a Letter of Map Amendment. For the Lake County portion of Fox Lake, documents are recorded through the Recording Division of the Lake County Clerk’s Office.
Fox Lake sits within the Chain O’Lakes on the Fox River, so many lakeside and riverside parcels fall within mapped flood hazard areas where an Elevation Certificate is important.
The village extends into McHenry County, but Lake County parcels are recorded through the Lake County recording office.
If it shows the lowest floor is at or above the Base Flood Elevation, it can support a more favorable flood-insurance rating.
