9-1-1 and Address Numbers

Is your address number posted on your home or business where it can be clearly
seen from the street? It’s the law in Oswego County! ALL homeowners and
businesses are required to have their assigned 9-1-1 address number posted on
the structure where it can be clearly seen from the street. If the location of
the structure makes it difficult to be seen from the street, the address number
must be displayed on a post placed near the end of your driveway. Your address
number displayed on your mailbox alone does not meet the requirements of this law.

In an emergency, seconds count! This law is intended to enable emergency services
to locate your address quickly in an emergency.
