House Number Display

For your own safety we encourage you to have your house number displayed near your entrance door. Emergency responders, such as emergency medical services (EMS), police department (PD) or fire department need to identify your address quickly and a number painted on the driveway is difficult to see in the dark and not considered effective by emergency responders. We also encourage you to have your number displayed in the alley by your gate for utility maintenance.
