Kangley is a very small village in southern LaSalle County, set on the open prairie away from the Illinois River corridor. Its flood exposure is generally modest and 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.

Kangley, with about 235 residents in Eagle Township, sits on higher southern LaSalle County farmland rather than a riverbank, so its flood concerns focus on smaller drainageways. 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 pricing and the floodplain administrator uses for permits. A certificate showing the structure above the Base Flood Elevation can also support a Letter of Map Amendment. Deeds for Kangley parcels are recorded by the LaSalle County Recorder of Deeds in Ottawa. With no river nearby, Kangley’s flood mapping is confined to the occasional low drainage line.
Kangley sits on prairie farmland in southern LaSalle County away from the Illinois River, so its flood exposure is generally limited.
Flood insurers, lenders, local floodplain administrators, and FEMA all rely on the certificate’s measured elevations for their respective decisions.
Even for a rural parcel, if it is mapped into a Special Flood Hazard Area, the certificate is what documents the building’s elevation for insurance and any map-amendment request.
