Hopkins Park sits in the Pembroke area of eastern Kankakee County, a region of sandy soils and prairie set away from the main Kankakee River corridor. Its flood exposure is generally tied to local drainage rather than a major river. Where a parcel falls within a FEMA Special Flood Hazard Area, an Elevation Certificate documents the building’s height against the Base Flood Elevation.
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 village of Hopkins Park, with roughly 597 residents in Pembroke Township, occupies the sandy prairie of eastern Kankakee County rather than a riverbank, so its flood concerns focus on smaller drainageways instead of the Kankakee River. When a parcel is mapped into a Special Flood Hazard Area, a FEMA Elevation Certificate from a licensed Illinois surveyor records the lowest floor against the Base Flood Elevation, which insurers use for rating and the floodplain administrator uses for permit review. A certificate showing the structure above the Base Flood Elevation can also support a Letter of Map Amendment. Deeds for Hopkins Park parcels are recorded by the Kankakee County Recorder of Deeds at the county seat in Kankakee. Across the sandy Pembroke prairie, Hopkins Park lots generally sit outside mapped flood areas.
Hopkins Park sits in the Pembroke area of eastern Kankakee County away from the river, so its flood exposure is generally tied to local drainage.
Where a parcel is mapped into a Special Flood Hazard Area, the certificate documents the building’s elevation for accurate insurance rating and any floodplain permit or map-amendment request.
FEMA’s flood map determines the mapped zone; the surveyor references that map and measures your building against the Base Flood Elevation.
