Authority to adopt building numbering ordinance — § 15.2-2024.
Naming of streets — § 15.2-2019.
The house number system is adopted by the Town of Edinburg for the purpose of identifying and expediting the location of property in case of fire, medical emergency or the need of police protection.
The Philadelphia Block Number System is used for house numbering, i.e., streets running north and south and east and west with even numbers assigned to one side of the street and odd numbers on the opposite side of the street. The point of origin is Center Street.
An official master list of all street names and house and lot numbers will be maintained and made available for reference at the Edinburg Town Office.[1]
