Virgil is one of the smallest communities in Kane County, set in rural west-central farmland with minimal FEMA flood exposure. Any mapped floodplain follows small local drainageways. For nearly all parcels the risk is negligible, and a surveyed elevation settles any question near a creek.
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.
Virgil, with a population of about 289, sits in Virgil Township within Kane County. The surrounding agricultural land drains through minor creek corridors toward the Fox River system, and FEMA Special Flood Hazard Areas here are minimal. In the uncommon case 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 coverage, the community uses for permit review, and owners use to pursue a Letter of Map Amendment. Deeds for Virgil parcels are recorded with the Kane County Recorder in the county seat of Geneva.
Flood exposure in Virgil is minimal, confined to small rural drainageways; nearly all parcels lie outside the FEMA Special Flood Hazard Area.
If a lender or insurer flags a property as near a mapped flood zone, the certificate provides the surveyed elevations needed to rate coverage or challenge the mapping.
A licensed Illinois professional land surveyor measures the elevations and certifies FEMA’s Elevation Certificate.
