Lisbon is a small village in southeastern Kendall County, in Lisbon Township, set among farmland away from the Fox River corridor that carries the county’s principal flood mapping. Flood exposure is generally limited, though low-lying or creek-adjacent parcels can still fall within a FEMA Special Flood Hazard Area. A FEMA Elevation Certificate documents a building’s elevation against the Base Flood Elevation where mapping 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.

Lisbon has a population of about 271 in Lisbon Township, in the southeastern part of Kendall County. Because it lies away from the Fox River, mapped Special Flood Hazard Areas here are limited and typically tied to specific creeks or low-lying drainage rather than a river floodplain. For any parcel that does fall inside a FEMA flood zone, a licensed surveyor prepares the Elevation Certificate by measuring the lowest-floor and grade elevations against the Base Flood Elevation, giving insurers the basis to rate coverage and the county the data for floodplain permit review. Where a building is above the flood level, the certificate can support a Letter of Map Amendment. Kendall County recording for Lisbon is handled by the Kendall County Clerk & Recorder in the seat at Yorkville.
Not broadly. Lisbon sits on farmland away from the Fox River in southeastern Kendall County, so mapped flood risk is limited to specific low-lying or creek-adjacent parcels.
You would need one if a lender or insurer identifies a building inside a FEMA Special Flood Hazard Area, if you are building in a floodplain, or if you seek a Letter of Map Amendment.
Kendall County documents, including Elevation Certificates and plats, are recorded through the Kendall County Clerk & Recorder in the county seat of Yorkville.
