Each house, manufactured home, or
structure located in the unincorporated limits of Calcasieu Parish will be
assigned an address to provide a more efficient and effective emergency service.
It is your responsibility to affix the assigned number on the structure.
Addresses are given when a permit for the structure is obtained, not before.
Size & Type of Number
Numbers must be made of a permanent durable material (painted and stick on
numbers not acceptable) and shall be in a contrasting color from the house so it
may be easily seen from the road.
Residential - minimum 3
inches in height
Commercial - minimum 4 inches in height
Numbers can be purchased from hardware
stores, lumber yards, Wal-Mart and K-Mart Stores, etc.
Location of Number
All numbers must be conspicuously placed immediately above, on or at the
side of the proper door of each building so that the number can be seen plainly
from the street line.
If the house/manufactured home is situated more than 50 feet from the
street, the number must be placed at the intersection of the driveway and road
on one of the following:
If your mailbox is on your property (not
across the street) and you choose to put the numbers on it, then the numbers
must be displayed on both sides of the mailbox post only (not the box itself) or
on both sides of a bracket mounted on top of the mailbox.
