Ringwood is a small village in northern McHenry County near Nippersink Creek in the Fox River watershed, set mostly on higher rural terrain. Its FEMA flood exposure is localized to the creek corridor. Most parcels sit outside mapped floodplain, and a surveyed elevation confirms the few near low ground.
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.

Ringwood, population about 844, sits in Greenwood Township within McHenry County. Nippersink Creek and nearby drainage feed the Fox River, and FEMA Special Flood Hazard Areas here follow those corridors, with county preliminary FIRMs released in 2024. A FEMA Elevation Certificate, completed by a licensed Illinois surveyor, documents a building’s lowest floor against the Base Flood Elevation so insurers can rate any required flood coverage, the village can confirm permit compliance, and owners can pursue a Letter of Map Amendment. Deeds for Ringwood parcels are recorded with the McHenry County Recorder in the county seat of Woodstock.
Ringwood’s flood exposure is localized to the Nippersink Creek corridor; most of the village sits on higher ground outside the FEMA Special Flood Hazard Area.
It’s a standardized FEMA form on which a licensed surveyor certifies a building’s elevations relative to the Base Flood Elevation.
Yes. If it shows the lowest floor above the Base Flood Elevation, it’s the evidence FEMA reviews for a Letter of Map Amendment.
