A. Methods And Characteristics For Posting Designated Street Addresses:
1. Property numbers shall be attached to dwelling units or buildings, located so as to be visible from and oriented toward the street from which address is taken. These numbers shall be of comparable size and material as those initially provided by the rural addressing office.
2. When a house or building is some distance from a road, or when view of the house or building is blocked by trees or shrubs, property number shall be on a sign attached to a tree, fence, gate, or lawn stake.
3. On a corner lot, the property number shall face street named in the address.
4. Numerals indicating the official address for each principal building or each front entrance to such building shall be posted in a manner as to be legible and distinguishable from the street on which the property is located.
5. If there is a rear entrance or a hidden structure, a post shall display the number on the path leading to the entrance.
6. In the case where a principal building is occupied by more than one business or family dwelling unit (duplex), each separate front entrance shall display a separate number.
7. Devices providing numbering for directional assistance may be placed throughout an apartment or condominium complex. Where parking facilities are not attached to the dwelling units, no property numbers shall be affixed to said parking facilities.
B. Responsibilities To Post Property Numbers:
1. Each owner or occupant or every person in charge of any residence or building to which a number has been assigned may be notified in writing by the rural addressing office of the number assigned to the same at any time after the adoption of this chapter.
2. Within sixty (60) days after the receipt of such written notification from the rural addressing office the owner or occupant or person in charge of a residence or building to which a number has been assigned shall affix the number in a conspicuous manner in a conspicuous place.
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 department.
4. If a property number is damaged, lost, or in any way destroyed, said number shall be replaced immediately by the owner, occupant or person in charge of the residence or building at their expense. Said replacement shall be purchased from the rural addressing office or shall be of comparable material and size as the original numbers posted by the rural addressing office. (Ord.
