Merrionette Park is a small village in Worth Township on Chicago’s southern edge, near Stony Creek and the Calumet drainage where low-lying land can fall inside mapped flood zones. A FEMA Elevation Certificate documents a building’s floor elevation against the Base Flood Elevation for insurance and floodplain compliance.
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.
Merrionette Park is a compact village of about 2,000 residents within Worth Township, along the southern boundary of Chicago in Cook County. Its drainage moves toward Stony Creek and the Calumet River system managed by the Metropolitan Water Reclamation District (MWRD). Because the village is small and largely built out, mapped Special Flood Hazard Areas are limited and follow the creek corridor and low-lying drainage rather than the whole community. For any structure that does sit in a mapped zone, the certificate gives an insurer the surveyed elevations to rate coverage, backs up floodplain-permit compliance for construction, and anchors a Letter of Map Amendment (LOMA) when a building is shown to stand above the flood elevation.
Official resources for Merrionette Park property owners
Mapped flood exposure is limited given the village’s small, built-out size, concentrating along Stony Creek and low-lying drainage rather than village-wide.
When your parcel is inside a mapped flood zone, a lender or insurer requests one, or you want to document that your building sits above the Base Flood Elevation.
It supplies the surveyed elevation data FEMA reviews to decide whether a structure sits above the Base Flood Elevation and can be removed from the mapped zone.
