ASSIGNMENT OF ADDRESSES

This permit is required when:   (1) you have an existing access onto a County or Township road way that has never been assigned an address, or (2) you have an access onto a State highway.  In the latter case you must bring your approved access permit into the County Engineer's Office in order to be assigned an address.  The Driveway / Access Permit is used to assign addresses.  A separate address permit is not required when a Driveway Permit is issued.  You may view and print off a copy of the permit by clicking on the link below, fill in the information as much as possible, then bring the permit to the County Engineer's Office for assistance in completing the form.
