Addressing and Road Naming Ordinance

The purpose and intent of this ordinance is to hereby establish a uniform system of road naming and renaming along both public and private roads. It also provides for a uniform system of addressing and numbering all structures within the jurisdiction of the County, and to establish a process for changing existing addresses and road names so that street, road, and highway names are not duplicated, or phonetically similar, in the County. The ordinance provides a method to correct inaccurate addresses that will help to greatly improve emergency service response to all parts of the County.

An additional purpose of this ordinance is to ensure that road name identification signs are placed at all road intersections. It also establishes a procedure for reviewing road names.  This is necessary to facilitate public safety and emergency response service in locating properties and structures for service to the public.
