Tower Lakes is a small village built around a private lake system in southwestern Lake County’s Fox River watershed. Low-lying parcels around those lakes 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.
Tower Lakes has about 1,226 residents in Cuba Township, part of Lake County, whose seat is Waukegan. The village’s lakes and Fox River watershed tributaries create mapped floodplain, and a licensed surveyor’s Elevation Certificate documents a structure’s lowest-floor elevation relative to the Base Flood Elevation. That record enables accurate flood-insurance rating, supports floodplain-development permits, and can back a Letter of Map Amendment. Tower Lakes survey documents are recorded through the Recording Division of the Lake County Clerk’s Office.
Parcels near the village’s lakes and Fox River watershed channels can fall within mapped flood hazard areas, where an Elevation Certificate documents building elevations.
It is the elevation floodwater is expected to reach in the 1%-annual-chance flood, which the certificate compares to your building’s floor.
A licensed professional land surveyor performs the measurements and certifies the FEMA form.
