The County Building Code requires in unincorporated areas that a parcel address be assigned to any parcel with a structure on it. A parcel address is also known as E911 addressing. Parcel addresses are generally assigned for new construction in the unincorporated areas. Even if your parcel will only have a barn on it, it still needs to have a parcel address. (If your parcel is in corporate city limits, contact your city.)
Why Is a Parcel Address Needed?
- The parcel address should be used when reporting an emergency. (The Sheriff’s Office describes appropriate uses of the 911 system.)
- In addition, utilities typically require a parcel address to activate service for new customers.
- You may also use the address as a mailing address. (Not recommended if you are an absentee owner.)
To Request a Parcel Address and Sign
- The parcel owner or their agent may make the request.
- No fee is required.
- The County will assign an address to the parcel when the building permit is issued.
- You may not request specific numbers.
- Numbers are assigned based on a quadrant numbering system and on the location of the driveway egress.
- The County will install and maintain the address sign at no cost to you. It takes about 10 business days for the sign to be installed.
- To make your request, contact the Planning, Development and Sustainability Department at 319-356-6083 or email [email protected] with the following items:
- Parcel number (which is the number provided by the Johnson County assessor)
- Description or map of where the driveway is located
Placement of Signs
Signs are placed based on a quadrant numbering system and the location of the driveway. GIS mapping is used. You may not request that the sign be placed in a particular location.
