Highland Park is defined by deep Lake Michigan ravines and bluffs, with creeks cutting through them toward the shoreline. Low-lying parcels along those ravines can fall within FEMA Special Flood Hazard Areas where an Elevation Certificate is 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.
Highland Park has about 30,176 residents in Moraine Township (also West Deerfield Township), part of Lake County, whose seat is Waukegan. The city’s ravine drainageways feeding Lake Michigan create localized mapped floodplain, and a licensed surveyor’s Elevation Certificate documents a structure’s lowest-floor elevation relative to the Base Flood Elevation. Owners use it to rate flood insurance, comply with floodplain-development permits, and support a Letter of Map Amendment. Highland Park survey documents are recorded through the Recording Division of the Lake County Clerk’s Office.
Parcels along Highland Park’s ravines and creeks can fall within mapped flood hazard areas, where an Elevation Certificate helps with insurance and permitting.
It is a surveyor-completed FEMA form documenting a building’s elevation relative to the Base Flood Elevation for insurance and floodplain use.
Its measured elevation data is the technical evidence FEMA reviews when deciding whether a structure lies outside the mapped floodplain.
