The Carroll County Board of Supervisors has determined that
the adequate provision of public services to the residents of the
unincorporated portion of Carroll County, and to other public bodies,
including such services as police, fire and emergency medical services,
requires the establishment of a uniform street naming and numbering
system for buildings and property located in the unincorporated portion
of the County. The Carroll County Board of Supervisors further feels
that the chapter enacted herein will secure the public safety and
deliver the aforementioned public services in an efficient and effective
manner.
There is hereby established a uniform system for street naming
and for numbering property and buildings on all roads, streets and
public ways in the unincorporated areas of Carroll County. All buildings
shall be numbered in accordance with the provisions set forth herein.
The Carroll County Board of Supervisors shall encourage owners
of existing structures to post the assigned numbers to their structure
in accordance herewith within six months from the date each resident
is notified of their new address and house number. Community clubs
and local fire districts shall be encouraged to assist in the implementation.
