An address is eligible for change if it meets one or more of the following requirements: Your property has an address that does not fit into the proper numerical sequence with the surrounding addresses, contains a fraction or alpha designator, causes confusion, or is difficult to locate.

Official Address Assignment Process
In most cases, when a single address is requested, the process takes just a few hours once the form has been submitted and staffing availability. New address assignments require the submission of a site plan. More complex projects, including apartments, business complexes, and subdivisions may take several days to complete depending upon the number of addresses requested and other factors.
Note: Addresses are assigned using an equal interval system, with even and odd addresses assigned to opposing sides of the road, and are not subject to the property owner’s approval.
