Address/Road Naming
Getting An Assigned Address
When is it necessary to get an assigned address?
It’s always a good idea to have an assigned address prior to the start of any project involving the development of a piece of property. Not only is it a requirement of the county, but the utility companies such as phone, power, etc. will also require that you have an assigned address prior to ordering their services.
Most importantly, accidents can occur even during the construction phase. By having an assigned address in place prior to construction, emergency services will then have the information they need to find you during such an event.
What needs to have an address?
- Single Family Residences
- Multi-Family Residences
- Accessory or Secondary dwellings
- Commercial/Industrial structures
What county department issues the assigned addresses?
Public Works Dept. (located on the 4th floor of the 316 Washington St building).
What’s involved in getting an assigned address?
It’s extremely easy! All that is needed is a completed application, a confirmed access route (i.e. easement, road access permit) and a simple site plan. Applications can be downloaded here, emailed, faxed or picked up in our office located at 316 Washington St. Suite 402, Wenatchee WA 98801. Your address will be determined based on driveway and surrounding number sequences. In some cases, there could be a requirement for naming a common driveway/private road, depending on the length of the road and the number of residences using it. The Road Naming Application is also available at our office or online. Currently, there is not a fee involved for submitting either the Address Request or the Road Naming applications. If you have any questions, please call our office at 667-6415.
