Indian Head Park is a small, largely residential village on rolling ground in the southwest suburbs near the Des Plaines and Salt Creek drainage. Its wooded terrain keeps most of the village clear of major floodways, with any exposure concentrated along small creeks and ponds. Where a parcel touches a Special Flood Hazard Area, a FEMA Elevation Certificate captures its elevation against the Base Flood Elevation for insurance and permitting.
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 Head Park is a village of about 4,100 residents in Lyons Township in southwestern Cook County. Its drainage is tied to creek tributaries feeding the Des Plaines River and Salt Creek systems that the Metropolitan Water Reclamation District (MWRD) manages. Flood exposure is generally limited given the elevated, wooded terrain, concentrated along small waterways and ponds rather than across the village. For an Indian Head Park parcel beside one of those waterways, an Elevation Certificate documents its elevation against the Base Flood Elevation, supporting flood-insurance rating, floodplain permitting, and a Letter of Map Amendment.
