You must come into our office to obtain and address slip. We do not fax address slips. The property must exist on the tax map. You must be able to locate the parcel (ie: parcel number, owner, location on map).

Usually your mailbox will be installed beside your driveway. If so, you must know where on your frontage the driveway will be located (ie: number of linear feet from a property line).

We will assign the address based on the mailbox location on the county grid. Address slips are primarily issued in preparation for building on vacant land. You will need several copies to get your permits. We assign addresses for all of the townships and the following villages – Seville, Westfield Center, and Chippewa Lake. All other cities and villages not listed should be contacted directly for address assignments within their jurisdictions.

To get your Mailing Location and Zip code you will need to contact the nearest Post Office.

Yes, the road name that will be assigned to a corner lot will be based on the location of the mailbox. So if the front of the house faces one road and the driveway is on the other, you must select which road you are putting the mailbox on and we will assign the address based on that decision.

Please contact the township in advance of coming to our office, to ensure that you are also meeting their requirements concerning addressing corner lots.

You must contact the township, city, or village zoning office directly.
