The Rockland County Legislature has authorized the installation
of an E-911 system within the county which should reduce the response
time for emergency services in every Town and village throughout the
county, resulting in benefit to the health, safety and welfare of
all residents. In order to accomplish this purpose, the Town Board
of the Town of Orangetown recognizes the need to require that all
parcels of real property within the Town be numbered and that the
numbers must be conspicuously placed on said parcels so as to be identifiable
for response by emergency services.
The County of Rockland shall have authority to assign numbers
to every parcel of real property within the Town. Such numbers shall
be sequential with odd numbers on one side of the street and even
numbers on the other side. In the event that a parcel of vacant real
property is legally able to be subdivided, such parcel shall be allocated
as many numbers as may be necessary to accomplish the purpose of this
chapter. All property owners shall be notified in writing of the number
assigned to the property owned.
Within 30 days after notification that a number has been assigned
to a parcel of real property, the owner of said real property or the
agent of such owner shall place or cause to be placed on such real
property the number or numbers assigned to such real property by the
County of Rockland in the manner provided by this chapter. Such owner
or agent shall be required to maintain the placement of such number
or numbers in accordance with this chapter.
