E-911 System Address Verification Enforcement

"ESAVE SAVES LIVES"

History

Since the completion of the E-911 addressing project for greater Pitt County and the nine municipalities within it, planning staff has been working on an effort to verify every addressable structure in the E-911 addressing database within unincorporated Pitt County. Project E-SAVE (E-911 System Address Verification & Enforcement) began in 2004 with the development of an audit-type database and Geographic Information System (GIS) mapping component that would help staff track progess of enforcing the address display program. In 2005, staff proceeded with the pilot project for an area located in the northeast quadrant of Pitt County. There were approximately 300 structures located within the project area. At first observation, address displays on 51% of the homes were out of compliance with Pitt County's Addressing Ordinance. Several violation letters were mailed to the property owners concerning the lack of posted address numbers on the dwellings. At the end of the pilot project, less that 3% were still out of compliance.
