Request Address or Change of Address

 Tips on Installing Your Sign

• Place the sign at the end of your driveway approximately three (3) feet from the shoulder of the road - it should not interfere with any road operations;
• Mount the sign on a metal sign post (a wooden post will also work) approximately four (4') feet above the ground (Do not hang it on a chain or a rope);
• Keep the sign clear of snow, branches and other obstructions at all times;
• Only if your house is within forty (40') feet from the road, clearly visible from the road in the dark, you may put the sign on your house or garage;
• If your property is water access only, mount the sign on your dock or very close to it so that it is visible from the lake.
