Addressing

Where you live determines what government entity maintains street signage. If you live within the city limits of a municipality, that municipality maintains those street signs. If you live outside a municipality, Pike County maintains those street signs. No matter where you live, you can always contact the Pike County 9-1-1 Business Office to report any issue with street signs and we will contact the appropriate government entity.

Contact the Pike County 9-1-1 Business Office at 334-670-6600.

A private drive is any road, path or driveway which serves 3 or more addressable structures and is not maintained by a governmental entity or agency through the use of public funds.

No, as with correspondence, change when it is time to renew (driver’s license, vehicle tag) or re-order (checks). A deed has a legal description of the property in question and therefore a 9-1-1 address does not effect that document in any way.

Contact the Pike County 9-1-1 Business Office 334-670-6600 with as much information as possible about your address and your neighbors. Ex. Your address, your neighbors' address on both sides.

The Postal Service will continue to deliver to your old address for a period of up to one year after you are issued a 9-1-1 address. It is your responsibility to contact everyone you correspond with to provide them your new address. This includes the tax office, banks, magazine subscriptions, utility companies, and all others that send you any mail. The United States Postal Service (USPS) has address change forms that may be used for this purpose.

9-1-1 needs to have a locatable address for every structure that could potentially call 9-1-1. Even if you receive mail at a Post Office Box or from another location you must still have a 9-1-1 address so you can be located in an emergency. Your 9-1-1 address is also used for package delivery services.

NO. We do not give out names and addresses to the general public. This information is shared with public service agencies, but only for their official duties.

Please start using your address immediately. The Postal Service will continue to deliver to your old address for a period of up to one year after you are issued a 9-1-1 address. To assist emergency personnel, post your 9-1-1 numbers at the entrance to your driveway or house or BOTH.

Nothing is forever, but it is intended to establish permanent addresses for all residents. There have been several address discrepancies located in all areas of Pike County and the addressing staff are continually working to correct issues as they are identified. If you think your address or another address in your area is incorrect please do not hesitate to contact the Pike County 9-1-1 Business Office at 334-670-6600 so that an Addressing Technician can verify the address. An incorrect address not only effects that structure but also the surrounding area.
