Yorkville, the seat of Kendall County, sits directly on the Fox River, giving the city meaningful FEMA floodplain exposure along the river corridor. Buildings near the river and its banks can fall within a Special Flood Hazard Area, where elevation relative to the Base Flood Elevation drives both insurance rating and floodplain permits. A FEMA Elevation Certificate documents that elevation for the property.
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.

Yorkville has a population of about 21,533 and is the county seat of Kendall County, located in Kendall Township on the Fox River. Because the river runs through the heart of the city, riverfront and low-lying parcels here are among the more likely in the county to be mapped into a FEMA Special Flood Hazard Area. A licensed surveyor prepares the Elevation Certificate by measuring the lowest floor, equipment, and grade against the Base Flood Elevation, giving insurers the basis to rate a policy and the city and county the data for floodplain permitting. When a building is documented above the flood level, the certificate can support a Letter of Map Amendment. As the county seat, Yorkville hosts the Kendall County Clerk & Recorder, where survey documents for the county are recorded.
