E 9-1-1 Sign Law

• Numbers must be at least 3 inches in height, durable, and clearly visible. Reflective materials are even better.
• Numbers should be of a contrasting color from the background on which they are mounted. For example, dark numbers on a light background.
• If the home is more than 50 feet from the road or the entrance to the building is not visible from the road, numbers should be placed on a post along a walkway, driveway, or other location, so the address number is visible from the road from any direction and a second set of numbers should be placed on the building.

• Numbers must be at least 4 inches in height and displayed over the main entrance.

• For groups such as apartments, town houses, shopping centers, and others where only one E-9-1-1 address number is assigned, numbers should be displayed at the main entranceway and should be at least 4 inches in height.
• Individual unit numbers/letters should be displayed on, above or to the side of the main entrance to each unit, apartment, suite, etc.
