Wilmington straddles the Kankakee River in southwestern Will County, so this is one of the more river-exposed communities in the area. Parcels along the riverbanks sit squarely within mapped FEMA floodplain. For any building close to the Kankakee, a surveyed elevation is fundamental.
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.

Wilmington, population roughly 5,664, is centered in Wilmington Township within Will County, extending partly into Kankakee County. The Kankakee River flows through the community, and FEMA Special Flood Hazard Areas line that river corridor. A FEMA Elevation Certificate, completed by a licensed surveyor, documents a structure’s lowest floor against the Base Flood Elevation so insurers can rate flood coverage, the city can confirm floodplain-permit compliance, and owners can support a Letter of Map Amendment. Deeds for the Will County portion of Wilmington are recorded with the Will County Recorder of Deeds in Joliet.
Yes. The Kankakee River runs through Wilmington, and FEMA maps a Special Flood Hazard Area along its banks, so riverside properties carry real flood exposure.
It documents how the home’s lowest floor compares to the Base Flood Elevation, which insurers use to rate coverage and which can support a Letter of Map Amendment if the floor is high enough.
It focuses on the building and its reference elevations relative to the Base Flood Elevation, not the entire parcel’s boundaries.
