Volo sits amid lakes and wetlands in the Fox River watershed of western Lake County, spanning several townships. Low-lying parcels around those water bodies 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.
Volo is home to about 6,122 residents across Wauconda, Fremont, and Grant townships, part of Lake County (with a portion in McHenry County), whose seat is Waukegan. Area 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. For the Lake County portion of Volo, documents are recorded through the Recording Division of the Lake County Clerk’s Office.
Around the village’s lakes and Fox River watershed tributaries, where mapped flood hazard areas follow the low ground, is where an Elevation Certificate is most often needed.
It is a surveyor-completed FEMA form documenting a building’s elevation relative to the Base Flood Elevation for insurance and floodplain purposes.
A portion of Volo lies in McHenry County, but Lake County parcels are recorded through the Lake County recording office.
