Old Mill Creek is a sparsely populated village in northeastern Lake County drained by Mill Creek and Des Plaines River tributaries. Low-lying parcels along those channels 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.

Old Mill Creek has roughly 162 residents in Newport Township (also Warren Township), part of Lake County, seated at Waukegan. Mill Creek and Des Plaines River tributaries create mapped floodplain, and a surveyor’s Elevation Certificate ties a building’s lowest-floor elevation to the Base Flood Elevation. That record enables accurate flood-insurance rating, supports floodplain-development permits, and can back a Letter of Map Amendment. Old Mill Creek survey documents are recorded through the Recording Division of the Lake County Clerk’s Office.
Along Mill Creek and the Des Plaines River tributaries, where mapped flood hazard areas follow the channels, is where an Elevation Certificate is most often needed.
It is a FEMA form completed by a surveyor documenting a building’s floor elevations against the Base Flood Elevation for insurance and floodplain purposes.
Its surveyed elevation data is the evidence FEMA reviews when deciding whether a structure lies outside the mapped floodplain.
