Glen Ellyn is drained by the East Branch DuPage River and tributaries such as those feeding through its central and southern neighborhoods. Parcels along these 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.
About 28,846 residents live in Glen Ellyn, which spans Milton and York townships in DuPage County under the county seat at Wheaton. The East Branch DuPage River watershed shapes mapped floodplain in the village, and a licensed surveyor’s Elevation Certificate measures a building’s lowest-floor elevation against the Base Flood Elevation. That documentation supports flood-insurance rating, satisfies floodplain-development permits, and can back a Letter of Map Amendment. For Glen Ellyn, the recorded survey exhibits are filed with the DuPage County Recorder of Deeds.
No, only those in or near the East Branch DuPage River’s mapped flood hazard areas generally need one; higher-ground parcels usually do not.
The Base Flood Elevation is the expected flood height, while your floor elevation is how high the building actually sits; the certificate compares the two.
If it shows the lowest floor is at or above the Base Flood Elevation, the certificate can support a more favorable flood-insurance rating.
