Civic Addressing

Civic addressing refers to the blue and white number sign located in front of your property. These signs are installed for everyone's safety and benefit. Please ensure that your sign is are always visible from the road. Please do not let trees, shrubs, grass or snow build up and cover them.

Emergency Services Vehicles (Ambulance, Fire, and Police) are able to find your residence or business much easier, because of the numbering system. If a sign is missing or vandalized, it could cause an emergency service vehicle to have a delayed response.

For Farmers and rural property owners: did you know that you can have a 911 sign installed on vacant farms and properties? This can save first responders precious time when responding to an emergency! The Township of Southwold Council passed a resolution to support the Mission of Farm 911, The Emily Project. The cost of a new 911 sign is $100.00. 

If you would like to request a new or replacement civic address sign, please complete the 911 Sign Request Form.
