The building official is hereby authorized, empowered and instructed
to designate a number for each building situated on the streets, avenues,
boulevards and terraces of the city in conformity with this article
and is hereby directed to keep an accurate record in his office of
all such numbers. He shall, upon application of any resident of the
city, advise such applicant of the number given to any particular
house or building.
(Ordinance 485, sec. 5, adopted 5/12/1931; 1959 Code, sec. 28-2; 1983 Code, sec. 24-2)
The numbering designated by the building official, based upon the official maps adopted and approved in section 36.01.001 of this chapter, is hereby in all things approved and adopted as the correct numbering for such buildings and improvements.

The building official shall determine the official street numbers
by designating numerical numbers for each platted lot along any street,
avenue or boulevard except where the property is platted into lots
or tracts with a frontage abutting said street, avenue or boulevard
in excess of seventy-five (75) feet, then in such event the building
official shall allocate one numerical address for each twenty-five
(25) feet of frontage or major portion thereof. Where duplex houses,
apartments or multiple business fronts and/or buildings are erected
on any one lot, each individual unit, business front or building shall
be designated with a unique number or street address. Also, each apartment
building within a complex (multiple buildings) may be designated with
a separate number.

Should the owner of any building which has been assigned a street
address number by the building official object to such number and
the decision of the building official, such owner may, at any time
within thirty (30) days from and after the date when such number was
designated, have the right to appeal to the City of Lubbock Building
Board of Appeals by giving written notice to the board within such
time period. Such written notice shall clearly and fully set forth
the number designated, together with the objections of the party appealing
from the decision of the building official. The board shall hear and
determine whether such address number was correctly issued by the
building official, according to this code. Such decision of the board
shall be final and binding.
