Obtaining a New Address for a Single Family Residence
If you own a single-family lot with a 0 (zero) address and want to obtain an official address, please submit an Address Assignment application along with a copy of a survey site plan of the proposed project. The survey site plan must:
- Be drawn to scale on a property survey
- Include proposed structures drawn to scale (with measurements and setbacks) and the location of main entrance doorways
- Include any existing structures (with measurements and setbacks) with their addresses, if any.
- Include the location of all existing or proposed driveways
- Include names of all roads bordering the property
- Include any easements
- Have a legal description of the property
Please include the Real Estate Number (RE#) of the property in which the address is being requested. If you cannot travel to our downtown location these documents can be faxed or emailed to the Addressing Section. A request for a single address assignment can generally be completed within one day of receiving the request.
Addresses will only be assigned to parcels that meet the minimum zoning requirements for the zoning district in which the property is located. Properties identified as a 'Lot of Record.pdf' as defined in Section 656.704, Ordinance Code may not be subject to all of these requirements.
In addition, residential properties that do not have access to city water and sewer will need to meet minimum size requirements in order to obtain an address. The minimum lot size for parcels that do not have access to either City water or sewer is one half (1/2) acre in size. If the parcel has either City water or sewer then the parcel must be a minimum of one quarter (1/4) acre in size. Properties identified as 'lot of record' as defined above many not be subject to these minimum lot size requirements.
