UPDATE - As of April 6, 2023, we have had over 85% of property owners update their address numbers. That is an amazing response and Emergency Services Personnel are extremely thankful.
The property owners that are not in compliance with the new ordinance will be receiving a letter within the next week. Property owners who fail to update their address numbers will receive a citation into Municipal Court and face a fine from $300 - $2650 and the possibility of up to 90 days in jail.
The City ordinance for addressing has been changed. The changed section is listed below. Please make sure your address meets the new requirements. If it doesn't, you will receive a notice from Code Enforcement giving you 15 days to get it fixed.
Help us help you. In an emergency, valuable time can be lost if emergency services can't find your house.
