Roscoe sits near the Rock River in far northern Winnebago County, close to the Wisconsin state line, with parts of the community near the river corridor that carries FEMA floodplain mapping. Riverfront and low-lying parcels can fall within a Special Flood Hazard Area, while higher ground carries more limited exposure. A FEMA Elevation Certificate documents a building’s elevation against the Base Flood Elevation.
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.
Roscoe has a population of about 10,983 in Roscoe Township, in far northern Winnebago County near the Rock River and the Wisconsin border. Lots close to the river and low-lying drainage are the most likely in the village to fall within a FEMA Special Flood Hazard Area, while parcels on higher ground carry limited exposure. A licensed surveyor prepares the Elevation Certificate by measuring the lowest floor and grade 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 documented above the flood level, the certificate can support a Letter of Map Amendment. Roscoe survey documents are recorded through the Winnebago County Recorder in the county seat of Rockford.
Yes. Roscoe lies near the Rock River in northern Winnebago County, so parcels closest to the river and low-lying drainage are the most likely to fall within a FEMA Special Flood Hazard Area.
Generally no. If your home is well outside a mapped Special Flood Hazard Area, an Elevation Certificate is usually not required; it is mainly needed for buildings in or near a FEMA flood zone.
They are recorded through the Winnebago County Recorder, located in the county seat of Rockford.
