University Park spans the Will and Cook line in the southern part of the region, drained by small tributaries rather than a major river. Its FEMA flood exposure is limited and localized. Most parcels sit outside mapped floodplain, and a surveyed elevation clarifies the handful that are near it.
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.
University Park, population about 7,145, sits in Rich Township, straddling the Will and Cook county boundary. The village drains through minor creek corridors, and FEMA Special Flood Hazard Areas here are limited to those small waterways. Where a structure is near mapped floodplain, a FEMA Elevation Certificate completed by a licensed surveyor compares its lowest floor to the Base Flood Elevation, which insurers use to rate flood policies, the village uses for permit review, and owners use to pursue a Letter of Map Amendment. Deeds for the Will County portion are recorded with the Will County Recorder of Deeds.
Official resources for University Park property owners
Flood exposure in University Park is limited and tied to minor drainageways; most of the village lies outside the FEMA Special Flood Hazard Area.
It depends on the parcel: the Will County Recorder of Deeds handles the Will County side, and the Cook County Clerk’s recording division handles the Cook County side.
The certified elevations on the form are the evidence FEMA reviews to decide whether a property sits above the Base Flood Elevation and can be removed from the mapped flood zone.
