Hainesville is a small village in central Lake County near the lakes and wetlands of the Des Plaines River watershed. Low-lying parcels around those water bodies 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.
Hainesville has about 3,546 residents in Avon Township (also Grant Township), part of Lake County, whose seat is Waukegan. Nearby lakes and Des Plaines River tributaries create mapped floodplain, and a licensed surveyor’s Elevation Certificate ties a building’s lowest-floor elevation to the Base Flood Elevation. That record enables accurate flood-insurance rating, supports floodplain-development permits, and can back a Letter of Map Amendment. Hainesville survey documents are recorded through the Recording Division of the Lake County Clerk’s Office.
Around the nearby lakes and Des Plaines River tributaries, where mapped flood hazard areas follow the low ground, is where an Elevation Certificate is most often needed.
It is a FEMA form completed by a surveyor documenting a building’s floor elevations against the Base Flood Elevation for insurance and floodplain purposes.
A licensed professional land surveyor performs the measurements and certifies the FEMA form.
