Missing or Damaged Road Name Sign?

If you notice a missing, damaged, or hard-to-read road name sign in Person County, we want to know. Please Submit Road Sign Issues in Person County.

Address Requirements

• Signs must be reflective so they are easy to see at night
• House numbers must be at least 3 inches tall
• Address numbers on businesses must be at least 6 inches tall

You can buy address signs from your local volunteer fire department or sign shop. Reflective peel-and-stick numbers are available at most hardware stores.

For most homes, placing address numbers on both sides of the mailbox is enough. However, if your home is hard to see from the road or has a long or shared driveway, please add extra numbers along the driveway and/or on your house to make it easier to find.

Addressing and Road Naming Ordinance

The purpose and intent of this ordinance is to hereby establish a uniform system of road naming and renaming along both public and private roads. It also provides for a uniform system of addressing and numbering all structures within the jurisdiction of the County, and to establish a process for changing existing addresses and road names so that street, road, and highway names are not duplicated, or phonetically similar, in the County. The ordinance provides a method to correct inaccurate addresses that will help to greatly improve emergency service response to all parts of the County.

An additional purpose of this ordinance is to ensure that road name identification signs are placed at all road intersections. It also establishes a procedure for reviewing road names.  This is necessary to facilitate public safety and emergency response service in locating properties and structures for service to the public.
