Are you in need of a 911 address?
              So you're building a house, or buying a new one? 
                       Here is what we will need from you...

1. First thing we need to know is the exact location of your driveway. This is obtained by measurements.  You will need to measure from the center of the driveway that you need the new address for to the center of the closest driveway or corner of an intersecting road, in both directions.  Simply put, from the center of your driveway measure to the left and to the right.  You must measure to driveways or intersecting road that is on the same side of the road as your property, regardless if there is a closer driveway or road on the opposite side. These measurements must be physically done on site.  We do not accept approximate measurements or measurements done from an online internet source.

                    Driveway                              New                         Driveway       
   ________  To Left _____________   Address__________   To Right __________________
 
  __________________-__________________          ________________________________
                                                                        Do Not
                                                                           Use

   2.  We will need to know your Tax Map ID #.  This number should appear with a series of numbers, dots and dashes on your Deed  that looks like this..  (ie 123456-12.-34.56 ). 

  3. For all New Construction, you will be required to submit a copy of your approved Driveway/Building Permits to Columbia County 911 prior to receiving a 911 Address.  Upon submission of your Permits, you will be assigned a Temporary 911 Address that can be used for Permitting, Utilities and Emergency Services only. 

* Upon completion of your project, you must provide a copy of your Certificate of Occupancy for the temporary address to become Permanent.  

* If Building Permits expire prior to receiving a Certificate of Occupancy, then temporary 911 Address will be removed from the records and you will need to begin the Address Request process again.

* If the property is Sold prior to completion of any construction projects, the temporary 911 Address will be removed and the new owners will be required to follow the Address Request procedure.

 
When you have this information ready, you can call the Columbia County 911 Office at 518-828-1263 and request a new 911 Address assignment for your property.
 
** Be advised, if you are calling on behalf of the property owner, you will need to provide the Owners Name, Phone and Email Address as we will only release the assigned address to the property owner
