Each owner or occupant of any building situated in the city
shall be required to place or permit to be placed on their building,
in a conspicuous place, the official street number/address assigned
to the property where that building is located, so that the number
may be plainly seen and observed from the street on which the building
fronts.
(Ordinance 1901 adopted 2/19/19)
(a)
The
numbers required to be placed on a building by this article shall
be of a durable material that will not tarnish or corrode, shall be
maintained to be completely visible at all times and shall be of a
color contrasting to its background. Nothing in this section shall
prohibit any number from being painted on the building by any person
when such character of material used will, in the judgment of the
city official, be equal in strength, durability and service as required
of the durable material required above.
(b)
Numbers
shall be a minimum of four (4) inches in height and visible from the
street on which the building fronts. Buildings not visible from the
street shall be numbered visibly at the street entrance to the property
or by the owner or occupant placing the number on a permanent structure
that is clearly visible from the street. Depending on building setbacks
or other unique characteristics associated with a particular piece
of property, a city official may designate additional locations of
numbers or size of numbers.
(Ordinance 1901 adopted 2/19/19)

In
the event a building has not been assigned an official number by the
city, the city official charged with enforcing this article, upon
application, shall give the proper number for such building. The number
assigned shall be consistent with the official numbering assigned
to adjacent properties and with the city at-large.
(Ordinance 1901 adopted 2/19/19)
For all apartments and building complexes with multiple structures
on one lot or parcel, each structure must have an official number.
The official number assigned to each building must be conspicuously
posted and displayed both at the front and rear of the building, if
the building design permits, or so displayed that it is visible, where
possible, from the nearest vehicular access. The numbers must meet
the specifications required in this article.
(Ordinance 1901 adopted 2/19/19)
Any person found in violation of any provision of this article shall be guilty of a misdemeanor and upon conviction thereof shall be fined in accordance with the general penalty provision found in section 1.01.009 of this code.
