(1) Street numbers for dwelling units and places of business on all public and private streets shall be assigned by the 9-1-1 Emergency Telephone System Board in accordance with the procedures adopted by the county.
(2) The 9-1-1 Emergency Telephone System Board shall keep a record of all numbers assigned under this section.
(B) Posting of designated street address.
(1) The owner or occupant, or person in charge of any dwelling or building to which a number has been assigned, will be notified by the 9-1-1 Emergency Telephone System Board of the number assigned to the same at any time after the adoption of this section.
(2) Within 60 days after the receipt of such notification from the 9-1-1 Emergency Telephone System Board, the owner or occupant, or person in charge of a house or building to which a number has been assigned, shall affix the number to the structure if visible from the road, or to a sign or number post if not visible from the road, in such a way that the numbers can be clearly seen from the roadway.
(3) It shall be the duty of such owner or occupant or person in charge thereof, upon affixing the new number to remove any different number which might be mistaken for, or confused with, the number assigned to said structure by the 9-1-1 Emergency Telephone System Board.
(4) Each principal building shall display the number assigned to the frontage on which the front entrance is located.

If a building or dwelling is situated in such a way that the numbers cannot be easily seen from the roadway in front of said structure, then a sign or number post must be used in front of the structure and placed in such a way that it can be easily seen from the roadway.
(C) Effective date. The ordinance from which the provisions of this section derive shall take effect and be in full force and effect 30 days from after its passage.
