Hampshire lies in the far northwest corner of Kane County near the divide between the Fox and Kishwaukee watersheds, drained by small creeks rather than a major river. Its FEMA flood exposure is limited and localized. Most parcels sit outside mapped floodplain, and a surveyed elevation confirms the few near a creek.
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.
Hampshire, with roughly 7,667 residents, is anchored in Hampshire Township with reach into Rutland Township, within Kane County. This part of the county drains through small creeks toward the Fox and Kishwaukee systems, and FEMA Special Flood Hazard Areas here are limited to those minor corridors. Where a building is near mapped floodplain, a FEMA Elevation Certificate completed by a licensed surveyor compares its lowest floor to the Base Flood Elevation, which insurers use to rate flood coverage, the village uses for permit review, and owners use to pursue a Letter of Map Amendment. Deeds for Hampshire parcels are filed with the Kane County Recorder in Geneva.
Hampshire’s flood exposure is limited, since it drains through small creeks near the Fox-Kishwaukee divide rather than a major river; most parcels lie outside the Special Flood Hazard Area.
It’s needed when a property in or near a mapped flood zone must rate flood insurance, obtain a floodplain permit, or seek removal from the zone.
The surveyor certifies the measured elevations of the building’s lowest floor and reference points compared to the Base Flood Elevation.
