Frequently Asked Questions
Why is Emery County assigning new addresses?
Top Reasons to Make an Addressing System:
-
•Establishing a reliable
and consistent system of assigning unique addresses to
buildings and properties within the County
-
•Improving response time
by police, fire, ambulance, and other emergency services;
-
•Providing a basis for
the development of sub-systems which can automatically and
quickly generate specific, reliable directions for drivers
from any starting location to any destination within the
County or the cities and towns therein;
-
•Preventing and
resolving duplications of addresses and route names,
confusing or misleading addresses and multiple addresses
for a single location;
-
•Improving the delivery
of public services such as building inspections, road
repair and maintenance, soil evaluations, utility
installation and repair, health inspections, property tax
administration, property mapping, school busing and other
public services;
-
•Coordinating the
mapping and Geographic Information Systems (GIS) in use by
various public utilities, parcel delivery and governmental
and quasi-governmental entities operating within the
County and the Participant;
-
•Establishing a clear,
rational procedure for assigning new addresses and street
names within both the incorporated and unincorporated
areas of the County as the need shall arise.
How do I know if my address has
changed?
You will receive a notification in
the mail that specifies your new address and invites public
input. This is not an official change, but rather a
notification of the proposed new address. Please attend
the public hearing to discuss the proposed addresses.
After the ordinance is agreed and signed by your city or town,
you will receive a notification with your water bill. This
notification requires that you change your address within 30
days. Failure to do so is a misdemeanor, prosecutable by
law.
If my address changes, will I need
to notify anyone?
Upon
acceptance of the ordinance, Emery County will notify the
following entities of your address change:
Notifications to any other relevant person or entity will be the
responsibility of the citizen.
Will my mailing address be affected?
Most likely no. If you use a
Post Office Box, as most of the county does, your mailing
address will remain the same. Shipping address, however,
will change, since shipping usually depends on physical
addresses.
