Whenever the Township Planning Commission shall deem it necessary, in order to maintain a consistent and logical pattern of street numbering within the Township, to assign or reassign a street number or numbers, such commission shall adopt a resolution indicating its intent to make such assignment or change.

[Code 1974, § 103-4]
The owner or occupant of all structures assigned a street number shall display such number in a prominent place on the structure, facing the road upon which the number is assigned at least four feet from the ground. If the structure is not easily visible from the street, an additional street number shall be provided on a permanent sign or plate located on the lot near the street at least four feet from the ground for good visibility. All such numbers shall be at least four inches in height, constructed of durable material, and shall be of a color which contrasts with the background upon which they are located. All numbers shall be displayed using Arabic numerals (e.g., 1234). The use of words or Roman numerals to express a number shall not satisfy the requirements of this section. Street numbers placed on mail boxes or written on curbs shall not satisfy the requirements of this section.
