Sun River Terrace is a small village in the Pembroke area of Kankakee County, set near the sandy prairie country east of the Kankakee River. Its flood exposure is generally tied to local drainage rather than the main river corridor. Where 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 Sun River Terrace, home to about 455 residents in Pembroke Township, sits in the eastern Kankakee County prairie rather than directly on a riverbank, so its flood concerns center on smaller drainageways. 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, giving insurers and the floodplain administrator the data they need. A certificate showing the structure above the Base Flood Elevation can support a Letter of Map Amendment. Deeds for Sun River Terrace parcels are recorded through the Kankakee County Recorder of Deeds in Kankakee. Away from the low channels of the Pembroke country, Sun River Terrace lots typically sit clear of mapped flood zones.
Official resources for Sun River Terrace property owners
Sun River Terrace sits in the eastern Kankakee County prairie away from the main river corridor, so its flood exposure is generally tied to local drainage.
It is FEMA’s determination that a property has been mapped into a flood zone incorrectly, which an Elevation Certificate showing the building above the Base Flood Elevation can support.
No, it is generally needed only when a parcel is mapped in a Special Flood Hazard Area or when an insurer, lender, or local official requests elevation data.
