Vernon Hills sits in the Des Plaines River watershed and contains several artificial and natural lakes and detention areas. Parcels near those water bodies and tributaries can fall within FEMA Special Flood Hazard Areas where an Elevation Certificate is relevant.
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.
Vernon Hills has about 26,850 residents in Vernon Township (also Libertyville Township), part of Lake County, whose seat is Waukegan. Where Des Plaines River tributaries and village lakes create mapped floodplain, 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. Vernon Hills survey records are entered through the Recording Division of the Lake County Clerk’s Office.
Those near the village’s lakes, detention areas, and Des Plaines River tributaries are the most likely to fall within mapped flood hazard areas requiring an Elevation Certificate.
