In the unincorporated areas of the county, the responsibility for the issuance of street addresses shall be assigned to the staff of the County Planning Commission. I.C. 36-7-4-405 grants a Planning Commission the power to prescribe a numbering system, assign street numbers, and approve the naming of all streets in platted subdivisions. The Planning Commission shall issue, and keep a permanent record of, all property addresses within its jurisdiction, and share said addresses with local postal authorities and E-911 personnel. Determination of county road or highway names, or changes in such names, shall be the sole responsibility of the County Commissioners. The Planning Commission shall have a final approval in the naming of streets in platted subdivisions, mobile home parks, commercial or industrial business parks, and the like under its jurisdiction. Local incorporated communities shall have final approval in the naming of roads and subdivision streets located within their corporate boundaries.
