(A) From the effective date of this subchapter, the numbering of all houses and structures located on lots, or parcels of land, abutting the public or private streets within the jurisdictional area of the County Plan Commission shall be accomplished in conformity with the Uniform House Numbering System.
(1) At the time of the issuance of any permit for the construction of a house or structure, a number shall be assigned by the Administrative Officer to the house or structure as provided. The number shall be included on the permit.
(2) No permit authorizing the occupancy of a house or structure shall be issued, and no final inspection of a house or structure performed for the purpose of permitting its occupancy shall be deemed complete unless the house or structure displays, at the time of inspection, the officially assigned number in full compliance with the standards of this subchapter.
(B) Houses and structures that were numbered prior to the effective date of this subchapter shall be renumbered in order that they may comply with the Uniform House Numbering System, and so that the numerical harmony throughout an area, or areas, is achieved. The Administrative Officer shall authorize such changes.
(C) The Administrative Officer shall provide a notification of the issuance of numbers, or the renumbering of houses and structures. Notification shall be made reasonably ahead of impending changes so as to allow interested groups and agencies to plan, and to prepare, for the proposed changes. The Administrative Officer shall keep accurate records and shall, from time to time, prepare, and make available, to the County Board of Commissioners a report of the status of the implementation of the Uniform House Numbering System. In the assignment of house numbers, the Administrative Officer shall use his or her best judgment, and shall carefully consider and evaluate all contingencies and shall, with due regard to the sensitive nature of the job assigned to it, be considerate of the citizens of the county.
