Mokena lies along the Hickory Creek corridor in eastern Will County, and parcels near the creek and its branches carry FEMA flood exposure. The bulk of the village sits on higher ground away from those low areas. Distinguishing an at-risk lot from a dry one generally requires a surveyed 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.
The Pi Surveying process — clear, sealed, and ready for your project.
Mokena, population near 19,887, sits in Frankfort Township with reach into New Lenox Township, within Will County. Hickory Creek and its tributaries are the primary drainage, and FEMA Special Flood Hazard Areas follow those creek corridors. A FEMA Elevation Certificate, prepared by an Illinois-licensed surveyor, documents a building’s lowest floor against the Base Flood Elevation, which insurers use to rate flood policies, the village uses to check floodplain-permit compliance, and owners use to support a Letter of Map Amendment. Deeds for Mokena parcels are filed with the Will County Recorder of Deeds in Joliet.
The Hickory Creek corridor and its tributaries carry Mokena’s mapped flood exposure; properties away from those areas are typically outside the Special Flood Hazard Area.
Owners of buildings in or near a Special Flood Hazard Area often need one for flood insurance rating, floodplain permits, or to pursue removal from the flood zone.
It doesn’t guarantee it, but by documenting how high your lowest floor sits above the Base Flood Elevation, it gives insurers the data that can lead to a lower rate.
