(A) The city shall cause the necessary survey to be made and completed to determine the address of property requiring the assignment of an address or requiring a change of address under the terms of this subchapter. Thereafter, there shall be assigned to each house and other residential, commercial,
industrial, or public building located on or gaining access to any street, avenue, or public way in said basing system, its respective number under the uniform system provided for in this subchapter according to said survey.
(B) When the said survey shall have been completed and each house or building has been assigned or reassigned its respective number of numbers, the city shall notify by letter:
(1) The owner, occupant, or agent of affected house or building;
(2) The U.S. Postal Service, the major utilities serving the address area, and emergency services such as police and sheriff, fire departments and ambulance service.
The city shall make a record of the date of the letter sent and the address to which it was mailed.
(C) The owner, occupant, or agent of the affected house or building shall place or cause to be placed upon each house or building, the number or numbers assigned under the address system as provided in this subchapter.
(D) The numbers shall not be less than two inches high and in a color contrasting to the building background. The numbers shall also be conspicuously placed immediately above, on or at the side of the proper door of each building so that the number can be seen plainly from the street on which the number is based. Whenever any building is situated so that the number is not clearly discernible from the street line or vision of the building from the street is otherwise obscured, the number or numbers assigned shall be placed near the walk, driveway or common entrance to such buildings, and affixed upon a gate post, fence, mail box, post, or other appropriate place so as to be easily discernible. Numbers painted or stenciled on the curb shall not be a lawful substitute for the display of address numbers prescribed by this subchapter.
