St. Anne sits in eastern Kankakee County on the prairie between the Kankakee River to the north and the farmland to the south. It lies away from the immediate river corridor, so its flood risk is generally tied to local drainage. When a parcel falls within a FEMA Special Flood Hazard Area, an Elevation Certificate documents how a building relates to 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.
The village of St. Anne, home to about 1,161 residents in St. Anne Township, sits on higher eastern Kankakee County ground rather than a riverbank, so its flood concerns center on smaller creeks and drainageways rather than the Kankakee River. Where 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, giving insurers and the floodplain administrator the figures they need. A certificate showing the structure above the Base Flood Elevation can support a Letter of Map Amendment. Deeds for St. Anne parcels are recorded through the Kankakee County Recorder of Deeds in Kankakee. Away from its low creek margins, most St. Anne parcels sit clear of mapped flood zones.
St. Anne sits on higher ground in eastern Kankakee County away from the Kankakee River, so its flood exposure is generally tied to local drainage.
The surveyor establishes the property’s elevations by field survey and references the FEMA flood map panel and Base Flood Elevation that apply to the parcel.
Yes, when it shows the lowest floor at or above the Base Flood Elevation, insurers can rate the policy on measured data, which often produces a more favorable premium.
