Help first responders find your home quickly and easily in an emergency!
Why your home should have a house number sign:
- Help first responders locate you and your family quickly to in an emergency – every minute counts.
- Help delivery drivers, postal services, and utility service providers easily find you.
House Number Sign Tips
COLOUR: Make sure the colour of your address numbers stand out from the background. It is helpful at night if the numbers are reflective. A blue background and white numbers work best.
PLACEMENT: Address numbers should be affixed to your home, well lit, free from obstructions, and in a location that can be seen from the street in both directions. A number sign at the end of the driveway also helps identify the address quickly.
MAINTENANCE: Bushes, vines, and plants can obstruct the sign so regularly trim growth so the numbers are always visible. Replace or repair damaged signs and numbers.

ARE YOU VISIBLE?
DRIVEWAYS:
Make sure driveways are well marked and provide a clear and accessible path from the road to your home.
SECONDARY SIGNS:
If your home is more than 100 feet from the road, ensure an additional house number sign is placed where the road meets the driveway. If two or more structures/homes use the same access, each structure/home should have its own house number sign.
Available in horizontal and vertical layout.
