House Numbering

Article IV of Chapter 32 of the City Charter provides that:

Any owner who fails to affix to and retain number markings on his building in conformity with the standards established in accordance with this article shall, upon conviction by the municipal court, be sentenced to pay a fine of not more than $25.00, and to pay all costs associated with prosecution thereof.

According to the Code, house numbers must be at least two inches in height and one-quarter inch wide, be located above or on the side of the building’s front door , at a minimum of three feet from ground level, and should be in a color that contrasts with the building. If the building does not have a front door on the side facing the street, the house number must be “located at a place closest in distance to the street.”
