What if I do not know my 911 address?
If you do not know your 911 address and would like to find the information, call or go in person to the 911 Addressing Office. top

When can a private road be named?
A street name is assigned to a private road that provides access to three or more residences, businesses, industries or a combination thereof, regardless of the length of the road. top

Who submits the road names?
The property owners on the road are asked to submit a ballot card, typically left on each door, with at least three road name choices. top

What are the procedures in naming a private road?
In naming roads, the Road Naming Committee reviews all road name choices with alternate names submitted by the property owners and uses the following criteria in their recommendation:

Street names that are the most popular among parties provided it is not a duplicate.
Street names that are not difficult to pronounce or sound similar to existing roads.
Street names with 15 or less characters, including spaces, but not including suffixes.
Street names which are not duplicated.

The Road Naming Committee forwards road name recommendations to the Board of Commissioners and requests a public hearing. A public hearing notice is published 10 days prior to the hearing date in the local newspaper. The Board of Commissioners hold the public hearing and approve road names accordingly.top

Can a road name be changed?
Not presently, a 5-year moratorium is in place, which prevents road name changes at this time. top

Who puts up the road sign?
The County of Sampson is responsible for the installation of all road signs relating to 911 services.  Questions regarding installation of road signs for 911 service, call  Sampson County Public Works at (910) 592-0188. top
