Sammons Point is a very small village in western Kankakee County, set on the prairie farmland away from the Kankakee River. Its flood exposure is generally modest and tied to local drainage. Where a parcel falls within a FEMA Special Flood Hazard Area, an Elevation Certificate documents the building’s height 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 village of Sammons Point, with about 214 residents in Norton Township, occupies western Kankakee County farmland rather than a riverbank, so its flood concerns focus on smaller drainageways rather than a major river. When a parcel is mapped into a Special Flood Hazard Area, a FEMA Elevation Certificate from a licensed Illinois surveyor records the lowest floor against the Base Flood Elevation, which insurers use for rating and the floodplain administrator uses for permit review. A certificate showing the structure above the Base Flood Elevation can support a Letter of Map Amendment. Deeds for Sammons Point parcels are recorded by the Kankakee County Recorder of Deeds at the county seat in Kankakee. Away from any sizable channel, Sammons Point parcels typically sit clear of mapped flood zones.
Sammons Point sits on western Kankakee County prairie away from the Kankakee River, so its flood exposure is generally limited to local drainage.
The insurer uses the surveyed lowest-floor elevation relative to the Base Flood Elevation to rate a flood insurance policy accurately.
It is the local official who reviews building activity in mapped flood areas and relies on the certificate’s elevation data before issuing a floodplain permit.
