Addressing

Property Addresses

In the rural areas, the ACRD is the addressing authority. Addresses are issued by the ACRD and distributed out to various emergency agency contacts, so it is important to keep addressing updated.

All dwellings such as a house, basement suite, apartment, short term rental units, require a unique address or unit number for timely 911 emergency response. All other structures used to shelter a use or be occupied such as for commercial, industrial, or farming purposes, also require numbering. Even development in remote areas only accessible by water or private logging road require addressing for emergency response efforts. (See Bylaw R1018 House Numbering Regulation in the Electoral Areas)

Typically, the ACRD will provide a civic address in conjunction with an issued building permit and the Building Department initiates the request, but in special cases, an address or unit number may also be issued if the owner requests and the need is clearly identified. For example, vacant land which will have construction preparations taking place.

If you need an new address or notice an error in road and address data or signage, please CONTACT US as soon as possible so we ensure all agencies have the best available data in the event of an emergency.
