Mundelein sits in the Des Plaines River watershed near several creek headwaters, with local lakes and wetlands dotting the village. Parcels along those channels and low-lying wetlands can fall within FEMA Special Flood Hazard Areas where an Elevation Certificate 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.
The Pi Surveying process — clear, sealed, and ready for your project.
Mundelein is home to roughly 31,560 residents in Fremont Township (also Libertyville and Vernon townships), part of Lake County, seated at Waukegan. Where Des Plaines River tributaries and area wetlands create mapped floodplain, a surveyor’s Elevation Certificate ties a building’s lowest-floor elevation to the Base Flood Elevation. Owners use it to rate flood insurance, comply with floodplain-development permits, and support a Letter of Map Amendment. Mundelein survey documents are recorded through the Recording Division of the Lake County Clerk’s Office in the county seat.
Along the village’s creeks, wetlands, and Des Plaines River tributaries, where mapped flood hazard areas follow the low ground, is where an Elevation Certificate is most often needed.
It is the water-surface elevation expected in the 1%-annual-chance flood, which the certificate compares to your building’s floor elevations.
A licensed professional land surveyor performs the measurements and certifies the FEMA form.
