McCullom Lake is a small village built around its namesake lake in northeastern McHenry County, within the Fox River watershed, so shoreline and low-lying parcels carry FEMA flood exposure. Higher lots around the lake face less. A surveyed elevation is what distinguishes a low waterside lot from one above the flood level.
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.
The Pi Surveying process — clear, sealed, and ready for your project.
McCullom Lake, with roughly 988 residents, sits in McHenry Township within McHenry County. The lake and connecting drainage feed the Fox River system, and FEMA Special Flood Hazard Areas here follow the lake margins and creek corridors, with county preliminary FIRMs released in 2024. A FEMA Elevation Certificate, prepared by a licensed surveyor, documents a building’s lowest floor against the Base Flood Elevation so insurers can rate flood coverage, the village can confirm floodplain-permit compliance, and owners can pursue a Letter of Map Amendment. Deeds for McCullom Lake parcels are recorded with the McHenry County Recorder in the county seat of Woodstock.
