Tinley Park reaches across Bremen, Orland and Rich townships in southwest Cook County, where Midlothian Creek and tributaries of the Calumet system leave parts of the village inside mapped floodplain. A FEMA Elevation Certificate documents a building’s elevation against the Base Flood Elevation so insurance and floodplain permits rest on verified figures.
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.
Tinley Park is home to about 55,900 people across the Bremen, Orland and Rich townships of Cook County. Drainage moves toward the Calumet River system managed by the Metropolitan Water Reclamation District (MWRD). Much of the village occupies higher ground, so Special Flood Hazard Areas concentrate along Midlothian Creek and other watercourses rather than across the whole community. Inside a mapped zone, the certificate’s surveyed elevations let insurers rate flood coverage, help satisfy Tinley Park’s floodplain-development requirements, and supply the evidence FEMA reviews in a Letter of Map Amendment (LOMA) petition to remove a qualifying building.
Official resources for Tinley Park property owners
Not necessarily. Only parcels within a mapped Special Flood Hazard Area carry that designation; an Elevation Certificate or a look at the FEMA map confirms whether yours does.
It must be signed by a licensed professional land surveyor, engineer, or architect authorized to certify elevation data. Pi Surveying PLLC is an Illinois-licensed land surveying firm.
If the survey shows your lowest floor sits above the Base Flood Elevation, that data supports a LOMA application asking FEMA to amend the map so your structure is no longer treated as in the zone.
