Third Lake is named for the lake at its center, part of the chain of natural lakes in central Lake County’s Des Plaines River watershed. Low-lying parcels around the lake can fall within FEMA Special Flood Hazard Areas where an Elevation Certificate applies.
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.
Third Lake has roughly 1,111 residents in Avon Township, part of Lake County, seated at Waukegan. The lake and Des Plaines River tributaries create mapped floodplain, and a surveyor’s Elevation Certificate ties a building’s lowest-floor elevation to the Base Flood Elevation. That record enables accurate flood-insurance rating, supports floodplain-development permits, and can back a Letter of Map Amendment. Third Lake survey documents are recorded through the Recording Division of the Lake County Clerk’s Office.
The village is centered on a natural lake, and parcels along its shore fall within mapped flood hazard areas where an Elevation Certificate documents building elevations.
It is a surveyor-completed FEMA form documenting a building’s elevation relative to the Base Flood Elevation for insurance and floodplain use.
