Even if you
rely on a Post Office box for mail delivery, it is very important
that your street address be posted on your property and visible
from the road so that fire, police, or ambulance responders can
find your location in an emergency. In a situation where every minute
counts, you don't want the Mad
River Valley Ambulance Service to waste precious seconds trying
to guess where the right location is and possibly going to the wrong
one.
Addressing
Guidelines
Your new locatable address should be posted at the property in accordance
with the guidelines adopted by the Selectboard
as part of the Town's Street
Naming and Addressing Ordinance as follows:
1. The number
should be affixed to the structure in a manner which is legible
and distinguishable from the road or driveway on which the structure
is located. If the structure is located in such a way that the
number cannot be easily seen from the road, then a sign or number
post should also be used at the driveway entrance in such a way
that it can be easily seen from the road. Rural mail boxes may
be used for posting the new [or existing] address if located at
the driveway entrance and are on the same side of the road.
2. Address
numbers should be a minimum of three inches (3") in height,
and should be of a contrasting color to the background on which
are applied. Any other numbers on the building which may be mistaken
for or confused with the address number should be removed from
the building.
3. Multiple
unit structures should display the building number in such a manner
as to be visible from the road as outlined above, and in addition,
unit numbers should be clearly placed at the entrance of each
unit.
IMPORTANT
NOTICE FOR LANDLORDS: If you have tenants at the above location,
it is important that you notify them of the new locatable address.
CONFIDENTIALITY
OPTION: You have the option to keep your name and the street address
number of your property from being linked in a municipal public
record. In order to exercise this option, you must complete a
Confidentiality
Option Form (1 pg, 58 KB)
available at the Town Office, and must provide an alternate mailing
address (such as a Post Office Box) for official municipal correspondence.
