Welcome to the Montgomery County Sheriff's Office guide on obtaining a 911 address for your property. Please carefully review the following guidelines to ensure a streamlined process:
- Assignment to Permanent Structures Only: 911 addresses are exclusively assigned to permanent physical structures and are not designated for vacant land.
- Single Address per Parcel: Each parcel of land is assigned one 911 address. In cases where multiple buildings exist on a single parcel, they will share the same 911 address. However, you may differentiate buildings by adding a unique identifier, such as a number or letter, to the end of the address. For example:
- Lot Number or Letter: Example - 123 Main St Lot 1 or Lot A
- Apartment Number or Letter: Example - 123 Main St Apt 1 or Apt A
- Subdivision and New Addresses: Subdividing a property qualifies for a new 911 address for the new building.
- New Business, Apartment Complex, or Solar Farm: For new commercial ventures or developments like apartment complexes or solar farms, please email the following information to expedite the process:
- Blueprints of the project
- Main access points
- Emergency contact information
- Name of the location
- Preparation Before Contacting Us: Please ensure that the area where the permanent structure will be located is clearly marked before contacting us via phone or email.
