  § 54.53. Posting of Numbers on Buildings.  

Latest version.

  • All buildings shall have the assigned building number properly displayed whether or not mail is delivered to the building. The posting of the building number is the responsibility of the owner of the building and shall comply with the following regulations:

    (a)

    If feasible, the building number shall be affixed to the front of the building in a manner so that it is visible from the public or private way on which the building fronts. Otherwise, the building number shall be affixed to a separate structure in front of the building, such as a mailbox, post, wall or fence, in a manner so that it is visible from the public or private way on which the building fronts.

    (b)

    The number must be in Arabic numerals, unless otherwise approved by the City Engineer. Approval will not be given for numbers so decorative as to be difficult to read.

    (c)

    The numbering must be of a weather-resistant material and permanently affixed to the front of the building or a structure in front of the building as provided in Subsection (a).

    (d)

    The numerals shall not be less than three (3) inches in height and shall be a contrasting color with the immediate background material.

    (e)

    The numbering of all existing buildings shall be brought into compliance with this article within sixty (60) days after notice is given to the owner of the building's noncompliance with the article.

    (f)

    The owner or an agent on the owner's behalf shall procure the correct number or numbers to be assigned to all buildings erected or located in the City after the effective date of this article. The owner or the owner's agent shall affix the assigned numbers in accordance with this article prior to the building's occupancy. A certificate of occupancy shall not be issued until the City Engineer has verified that the building has been properly numbered in accordance with this article.
