KNOW YOUR ACCESS!
Rural addresses are determined by the location of your driveway.
It is important that all land owners understand what their legal access is to their property and are encouraged to review all plats and deeds relating to their parcel.
A rural address does not confirm legal access to property.
About this department

The most important reason for having a county assigned address for your property is to make it easy for 9-1-1 emergency services to reach you and your family in case of need. Your county assigned address is part of a system of emergency services, atlas, maps, and computer data information that is utilized by all 9-1-1 emergency service units. The Rural Addressing Office assigns physical addresses in Sanders County. During that process we check to see if new development needs septic services and are out of the designated floodplain.  We pass the new physical address on to other county departments and government agencies. In addition we can provide verification of assigned E911 physical addresses in Sanders County.

The Rural Addressing Office also provides GIS services including mapping and updated GIS files. We can generate maps for a fee. Our office is also involved in road naming in the County and keeping an updated list of roads. Sanders County Rural Addressing assists the local Fire Districts and other Emergency Services with GIS services as requested.
