It is important that all occupied buildings post addresses that are clearly visible and in compliance with the Code of Ordinances. All structure numbers shall be constructed of a durable, weather resistant material. The color shall contrast with the color scheme of the structure, and if mounted on glass, shall contrast with the background and be clearly visible. Reflective numbers for nighttime identification are required, if not in a well-lit area.
Complete Residential Requirements:
Not be less than four (4) inches in height
Be on a contrasting background
Be reflective for nighttime display, if not in a well-lit area
If property is more than 50 ft from the road or obstructed, number must also be displayed at the road; mailboxes are suitable for this requirement and should be posted on both sides
Complete Non-Residential Requirements:
Not be less than eight (8) inches in height
Be on a contrasting background
Be reflective for nighttime display, if not in a well-lit area
For single occupant buildings, if more than 50ft from the road or obstructed, number must also be displayed at the entrance/driveway
For multi-unit facilities, if more than 50ft from the road or obstructed, be displayed at the entrance/driveway and all unit numbers (suites, etc.) to be no less than 4" in height. The primary number should be displayed at a central point on the building if possible (ideally near a universal sign, i.e. building/complex name)
Non-numeric posting of street addresses (i.e. Two Hundred Thirty instead of 230) are not permitted, except where accompanied by standard numeric postings.
Any person, business or property owner that fails to post an address number will be subject to penalties as outlined in the Ordinance. See section 8-5-40 for fines.
