911 Addressing FAQs
Numerics are assigned based on the distance from the beginning of the road to the driveway. Odd numbers are on the left, even on the right. The beginning of the road or the end of the road closest to the county seat (County Courthouse) is where the addresses will begin. The addresses are then a measurement based on 5.280’ being a potential address. An address of 1000 Any Street lets responders and those looking for the residence that it should be exactly one mile on the right side of the road.
If there is already a residence on the property the 9-1-1 should already be on file, and can be confirmed by contacting 9-1-1 addressing at 706-253-8945 or keasterwood@pickenscountyga.gov. Vacant land that has never had a residence on it will not have a 9-1-1 address already assigned. We do not assign vacant land addresses until a permit of some type is applied for.
