Addressing Q &
A's
Why do I need an address?
Addresses are assigned to provide
a uniform numbering system to protect the health, welfare and safety of
those who live and work in the county. Such a system enhances the ability
of emergency vehicles to respond rapidly to calls, provides for an orderly
election process, expedites postal and other delivery services and eliminates
confusion and error in locating businesses and residences.

How do I get an Address
for a Building Permit.
Part of the Building Permit Application Process is to submit a site/plot
plan. You will be issued an address after you submit your site plan to the Building Department.
Note: if the parcel is in a subdivision, it should be preaddressed.
In that case you do not need to submit a site plan. You should contact our office at (530) 621-5444
or e-mail the
Surveyor's Office to obtain the address.

I was notified that my
address may be incorrect or is out of sequence with my neighbors.
Contact our office with the information that you have, especially
your neighbors' addresses on both sides of you and across the street,
including their driveway locations. You can also send a "Site
Plan".

What is required to name
a road?
If you are going to build on an unnamed road and the road serves two or
more parcels and is over 500 feet in length, it should be
named. There is a road name petition included in the document "Information Sheet For Naming A Private Or County Road ". You need to obtain
signatures of approval of 51% of the owners of parcels that front
the road to be named. Be sure to contact our office with your list
of possible road names so we can screen and tentatively approve them prior
to the Fire Department and Post Office approvals. There is a different application for naming roads as a result of a land division .

The street sign is missing.
Who will put a new one up?
Private road signs are the responsibility of the homeowners. If one is
missing, obtain a copy of the “Street Sign Design
Standards” and contact a private sign company to order a new
sign. If the road is County Maintained contact our office so we
can notify the proper department to replace the sign.
