Indian Creek is a tiny village in southeastern Lake County named for the creek that drains it toward the Des Plaines River. Low-lying parcels along the creek can fall within FEMA Special Flood Hazard Areas where an Elevation Certificate applies.
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.

Indian Creek has roughly 536 residents in Vernon Township, part of Lake County, seated at Waukegan. Indian Creek and Des Plaines River tributaries create mapped floodplain, and a surveyor’s Elevation Certificate documents a building’s lowest-floor elevation against the Base Flood Elevation. That record enables accurate flood-insurance rating, supports floodplain-development permits, and can back a Letter of Map Amendment. Indian Creek survey documents are recorded through the Recording Division of the Lake County Clerk’s Office.
Those along Indian Creek and its Des Plaines River tributaries, where mapped flood hazard areas follow the channel, are the most common candidates.
It is a surveyor-completed FEMA form documenting a building’s elevation relative to the Base Flood Elevation for insurance and floodplain purposes.
When it shows the structure is at or above the Base Flood Elevation, it can support a more favorable flood-insurance rating.
