Kaneville is a small farming village in central-western Kane County drained by minor tributaries of the Fox River system rather than the river itself. Its FEMA flood exposure is limited and localized. Most parcels sit on higher farmland, and a surveyed elevation confirms the few near a creek.
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.

Kaneville, population about 452, is centered in Kaneville Township within Kane County. Local drainage runs through small creeks toward the Fox River, and FEMA Special Flood Hazard Areas here are limited to those minor corridors. Where a building is near mapped floodplain, a FEMA Elevation Certificate completed by a licensed Illinois surveyor compares its lowest floor to the Base Flood Elevation, which insurers use to rate flood coverage, the village uses for permit review, and owners use to pursue a Letter of Map Amendment. Deeds for Kaneville parcels are filed with the Kane County Recorder in Geneva.
No. Kaneville’s flood exposure is limited to minor creek corridors, so the great majority of parcels lie outside the FEMA Special Flood Hazard Area.
It’s a standardized FEMA form on which a licensed surveyor certifies a building’s elevations relative to the Base Flood Elevation.
The certified elevations are the evidence FEMA reviews to decide whether a property sits above the Base Flood Elevation and can leave the mapped flood zone.
