Instructions for Rural Number Installation

Section 76.07 (1) Dane County Code of Ordinances provides that address numbers for buildings which are located more than 60 feet from the road right-of-way shall be installed on a post. The post shall not be located more than 10 feet from the driveway serving the building and not more than 10 feet from the road right-of-way. The post may be located on either side of the driveway. Height of the number shall not be less than 3 feet or more than 4 feet about the ground. The number shall be installed perpendicular to the road and shall not be concealed from view from the road by trees, shrubs, bushes, etc. (see diagram).

Note: Compliance with the above listed instructions is very important with regard to emergency services. Failure to install a number as specified could delay effective service.

OWNERS RESPONSIBILITY
Section 76.10 (3) Dane County Code of Ordinances provides that the owner of the land on which a numbering sign is located shall be responsible for the installation and maintenance of the number as specified by the ordinance.

Post must be located in the shaded area either side of the driveway.

These familiar green and white "fire number" signs are a prominent safety feature for homes located in rural areas. Fire, ambulance and protective service workers all use the fire number as a reliable and highly visible means of quickly finding a residence.

If you locate or move your fire number post, always contact "Diggers Hotline" to limit accidental breaks in utility services.

You can assist emergency responders by following these Dane County Code of Ordinance requirements:

1. Do not move the number out of the designated area shown below.
2. Do not reattach the number to your mailbox post. The number must remain on the post the County provides.
3. Keep brush, weeds, flowers, shrubs and branches away from the sign so it is visible at all times.

IT'S NICE TO BE DIFFERENT, BUT IT'S BETTER TO BE SAFE!
