the importance of house numbers

​Can we see your house numbers? This is key for quickly finding you in an emergency:

If your house is less than 50 feet from the road, the number should be visible for approaching vehicles.

If your house if more than 50 feet from the road, the number should be displayed next to the drive leading to the residence.

The numbers should be at least 4 inches high, reflectorized, and in contrasting color to the background they are on.

Numbers should be between 42 inches and 72 inches above the ground.

Please remove any numbers that are not in accordance with the rules above.
