Homer Glen is a largely residential community drained by tributaries feeding toward the Des Plaines River basin, without a major river running through its center. Flood exposure is localized to creek and drainageway corridors, with most of the village on higher ground. Confirming a lot’s status typically means having its elevation surveyed.
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.

Homer Glen, with about 24,543 residents, lies primarily in Homer Township, Will County, with reach into New Lenox and a small Cook/Orland edge. Its drainage runs through local creeks and tributaries toward the broader Des Plaines system, and FEMA Special Flood Hazard Areas here follow those smaller corridors. Where a building sits 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 policies, the village uses for permit review, and owners use to pursue a Letter of Map Amendment. The Will County Recorder of Deeds maintains these property records in Joliet.
No. Homer Glen’s exposure is concentrated along creeks and drainageways; large portions of the village sit outside the FEMA Special Flood Hazard Area.
The flood zone is the mapped area of risk; the Base Flood Elevation is the specific water-surface height in that zone. The Elevation Certificate ties your building to both.
Sometimes. If a map revision changes your zone or Base Flood Elevation, an updated Elevation Certificate may be needed to re-rate insurance or support a new map amendment.
