Hanover Park is a northwest-suburban village on generally flat ground where local creeks and tributaries of the Fox and Des Plaines watersheds handle drainage. The parcels nearest those channels can fall within mapped Special Flood Hazard Areas, while much of the village sits clear of them. When a parcel does sit near one of those channels, a FEMA Elevation Certificate fixes its elevation against the Base Flood Elevation for insurance and permit purposes.
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.

Hanover Park is a village of about 37,500 residents across Hanover and Schaumburg Townships on the northwestern edge of Cook County. Its drainage feeds local creeks tied to the Fox and Des Plaines watersheds, with the Metropolitan Water Reclamation District (MWRD) as the stormwater authority for its Cook County portion. Flood exposure is present but generally limited, concentrated along creek and detention corridors rather than across the village. For a Hanover Park parcel near one of those corridors, an Elevation Certificate records the building’s elevation against the Base Flood Elevation, supporting flood-insurance rating, floodplain permitting, and a Letter of Map Amendment.

Flood exposure is generally limited and concentrated along creek and detention corridors, with much of the village on higher, developed ground.
You may, if the parcel lies in or near a mapped Special Flood Hazard Area or if a lender or insurer requests one. A surveyor can confirm the parcel’s status.
Yes. If it shows the lowest floor above the Base Flood Elevation, insurers can rate the policy on that verified elevation, often reducing the premium.
