I am a resident building a new home. What information do I need to obtain a new address?

If you are building a new home in a subdivision, the developer should already have the address for your lot. If you require an address to be issued or verified, you will need to fill out the required items on the Addressing Request Form and submit the completed form with all the required data to the GIS Document Shop. You will need to include the following:

  • A survey or site plan of the property including a location of the building to be addressed.
    Note: A sketch of the site plan is allowed if a survey does not exist.
  • Driveway location
  • Existing addresses adjacent to and/or near the requesting property.
