9-1-1 Addressing

Can First Responders Find You In An Emergency?

ATCOG manages the addressing services for cities and counties in the Northeast region of Texas. The 9-1-1 addressing data we possess is the precise information emergency responders will receive in the event of an emergency. Sometimes, addresses need to be modified or created due to the sale of nearby properties and new buildings resulting in the subsequent creation of new 9-1-1 addresses.

How to Display Your 9-1-1 Address

Essential 9-1-1 Address Display Requirements

When emergency responders race against time, visible house numbers make all the difference. Follow these essential guidelines to ensure first responders can find your home quickly during an emergency.

Your Home

  • Contact your 9-1-1 addressing department to verify your official address
  • Display numbers at least 3 inches tall on your house
  • Ensure numbers are illuminated or reflective for nighttime visibility

Mailbox and Driveway Marking

  • Place reflective numbers on both sides of the mailbox
  • Install additional address markers at driveway entrance if mailbox is across the street
  • Avoid placing numbers on gates that can be obscured when open
  • For shared driveways, display all resident numbers at entrance with individual markers at each home

Visibility Guidelines

  • Position numbers where they are clearly visible from the road
  • Install separate post-mounted display if the structure isn't visible from street
  • Maintain clear sightlines by trimming vegetation around number displays
  • For community mailbox areas, ensure separate driveway marking

Installation Tips

  • Purchase reflective number kits from hardware stores or local fire departments
  • Test visibility by driving past your property day and night from both directions

Remember: Every second counts in an emergency. Make your address visible 24/7 to help first responders reach you quickly when needed.
