Newark is a village in southern Kendall County, in Fox Township, set on farmland south of the Fox River’s main 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 records 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.
The Pi Surveying process — clear, sealed, and ready for your project.
Newark has a population of about 973 in Fox Township, in the southern part of Kendall County, south of the Fox River’s main channel. Because it lies away from the river corridor, mapped Special Flood Hazard Areas here are limited and typically tied to specific creeks or low-lying drainage. For any parcel that does fall inside a FEMA flood zone, a licensed surveyor completes 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 Newark is handled by the Kendall County Clerk & Recorder in the seat at Yorkville.
Not broadly. Newark sits south of the Fox River’s main corridor in Kendall County, so mapped flood risk is limited and generally confined to specific low-lying or creek-adjacent parcels.
A licensed Illinois professional land surveyor completes it, measuring the required building and site elevations and certifying them on the official FEMA Elevation Certificate form.
They are recorded through the Kendall County Clerk & Recorder, located in the county seat of Yorkville.
