Wood Dale sits along Salt Creek in northeastern DuPage County, where the creek and its tributaries have produced flooding in past storms. Buildings within the Salt Creek FEMA Special Flood Hazard Area are prime candidates for an Elevation Certificate.
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.

Wood Dale has about 14,012 residents within Addison Township in DuPage County, whose seat is Wheaton. Salt Creek passes through the community and creates mapped floodplain, so a licensed surveyor’s Elevation Certificate records a structure’s lowest-floor elevation relative to the Base Flood Elevation. That record supports accurate flood-insurance rating, floodplain-development permit conditions, and a Letter of Map Amendment. Wood Dale survey records along Salt Creek are handled by the DuPage County Recorder of Deeds.
Salt Creek and its tributaries have caused flooding in Wood Dale, and buildings within the mapped flood hazard area commonly use an Elevation Certificate for insurance and permits.
It is the lowest enclosed floor of the building, including any basement, which FEMA compares to the Base Flood Elevation.
