Address Assignment

Pinned map
If you want to do something with your property, for instance build a new house,  go to Planning, Permitting and Enforcement.


New site construction will automatically trigger the process of assigning a new address and will commence following foundation placement. The Department will contact the property owner with the new address. For questions regarding an existing address please contact the Planning, Permitting and Enforcement Department.
