There is established a uniform system of numbering properties and principal buildings. There shall be one location number for each ten feet of property frontage, wherever possible, starting at the baseline (normally the center of the adjoining street) with number one and continuing with consecutive hundreds at each intersection wherever possible. Structures will be numbered according to the road or street they face (front of structure), with the middle of the structure determining the number. The exception is when the structure cannot be seen from the road, then the driveway shall be numbered and addressed on the street/road from which it departs. The city adopts a nominal three-hundred-seventy-seven-foot block grid system in unplatted areas, and where a street is interrupted or does not continue through, the block shall be considered to be three hundred seventy-seven feet with measuring to begin anew each mile to remove irregularities. Where an unplatted area adjoins a currently platted area with a different block size, the grid and location number spacing shall be adjusted to establish continuity with the platted area. A grid map shall be developed by the city, copies of which shall be filed with the city clerk/treasurer and the director of public works. The grid map shall be modified whenever a subdivision is platted within the city limits. Buildings on short plats shall be numbered within the grid existing at the time of the plat.

When the block has continued for three hundred seventy-seven feet without an intervening street and there is no intervening street within a total of seven hundred fifty-four feet from the last street, numbering shall begin for the next block as if there were a street.

All property or parcels of land within the corporate limits of Pomeroy shall hereafter be identified by reference to the uniform numbering system herein; provided, all existing numbers of property and buildings may retain their present number unless the director of public works finds that they are numbered incorrectly for the side of the street they are on, are not sequential, prevent proper numbering of further subdivisions of the area, or have other inconsistencies which make them incompatible with the numbering system. Those which the director of public works finds must be changed shall be changed to conform to the system herein with sixty days of notification by the director of public works.
