Rockdale is a small village bordering the Des Plaines River corridor near Joliet, so its low-lying parcels carry FEMA flood exposure. The tight footprint means much of the village sits close to that river system. A surveyed elevation is important for buildings near the water.
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.

Rockdale, population about 2,012, sits in Joliet Township within Will County. It lies along the Des Plaines River corridor near the county seat, and FEMA Special Flood Hazard Areas follow that waterway. A FEMA Elevation Certificate, completed by a licensed Illinois surveyor, documents a building’s elevation relative to the Base Flood Elevation, giving insurers a basis to rate flood coverage, the village a way to confirm floodplain-permit compliance, and owners the evidence to pursue a Letter of Map Amendment. Deeds for Rockdale parcels are filed with the Will County Recorder of Deeds.
Yes. Rockdale sits along the Des Plaines River corridor, and FEMA maps a Special Flood Hazard Area there, so low-lying parcels carry flood exposure.
It shows the certified elevation of the building’s lowest floor and reference points compared to the Base Flood Elevation on the FEMA map.
If it demonstrates your lowest floor is above the Base Flood Elevation, it can support a lower rate and, in some cases, a Letter of Map Amendment.
