The purposes of this subchapter are to create a uniform rural address numbering system and to establish that all residential dwellings or business structures, including any identifiable but vacant or unimproved lots or tracts of land, whether currently existing or hereafter placed, erected, or created, located within the rural areas of the county be identified by and be assigned a number, which number shall be prominently displayed, on any occupied lot or parcel, used as a means of address identification for said location and relied upon by emergency personnel, businesses, utilities, the United States Postal Service, local government, and residents as the legal address for said location.
