Significance of an address
What’s the location of your emergency?
Emergency personnel across the world rely on accurate location information in order to quickly respond to save lives and property.
The purpose of a 911 address is strictly for routing emergency personnel to the location of an emergency. Addressing must be done consistently and systematically for complete accuracy and Dallas County 911 strives to meet national and state standards for all Geographical Information Systems database collections throughout our jurisdiction.
The United States Postal Service and other mail delivery companies rely on addressing as well; however, their databases are different and reporting new addresses or changes is the responsibility of the landowner or business owner.
Are you ready for a new address?
Before a new address can be assigned, there are two important things that must be in place. An established driveway connecting to the roadway and foundation work completed or utilities installed. Dallas County 911 does not address vacant land.
Why do I have to have an established driveway?
The location of the driveway connecting to the road dictates what the address number will be based on the particular addressing range for that segment of the roadway.
Why do I have to have a foundation or utilities?
Formal address points are placed on top of site structures and not at the roadway. This is especially important when more than one address exists on a shared driveway.
I already have an address, but need to update my contact info.
