Dept of Information Technology: GIS Addressing

Gloucester Street Addressing

GIS addresses new construction using a grid system. For every ten (10) feet of road frontage there is one address number (example: 100' = 10 numbers). If the center line of house A is 100' from the center line of house B, there addresses would be 10 numbers apart.

GIS is also responsible for naming roads. Petitions are sent to the individual land owner(s) that the new road is on and they name the road. GIS checks to make sure the road name is not a duplicate road name in the county or a sound alike name (example: Lee St. and Leigh St.). For a petition, call 693-1109.

GIS also coordinates the maintenance of street signs. If a pole is knocked over or bent or the street sign is missing, they are replaced as soon as it is reported to GIS. Please call 693-0129 between 8AM and 4:30PM to report damaged or missing street signs.

Our Mission is to maintain a Geographic Information System that:

Provides enhanced 911 support to all local and regional emergency services personnel by creating and maintaining E911 Response Map Books, street maps, and the E911 database.
Provides county administrators, other county departments, and planners with graphic and data analysis tools for decision making and presentations. The GIS includes planimetric and parcel data layers.
Will provide access to the GIS data by the general public, in the near future.
Provides addresses for new construction, names for new roads, and maintenance of street signs. GIS also helps businesses and the general public to obtain addresses and cross reference old to new addresses.
Provides the creation of plots on maps with the tax map parcels superimposed over planimetrics for graphic data analysis and for making presentations. This service is provided to the public and government organizations.
