Can we see your address?
Oldham County recently enacted a County wide address identification ordinance in June 2017. This ordinance describes the required way that all houses and businesses must display their address. You may read the entire ordinance HERE.
The goal of this ordinance is to make Oldham County safer by ensuring that first responders can find your house during an emergency. If a house does not have their address clearly marked, it can cause a delay in police/fire/EMS response to you.
Oldham County EMS made a short video regarding proper addresses - Oldham County EMS Mailboxes
The most basic section of the ordinance requires every mailbox to have the street number clearly showing on BOTH sides of the mailbox with 3” numbers. If the house does not have a mailbox, a sign with the address on both sides may be placed no more than 12’ from the driveway.
Homeowners and business are required to comply with the address identification requirements.
In an effort to help our community, the Ballardsville Fire Department has started an address identification program.
$5 = 3” reflective stickers for both sides of a mailbox
$15 = 3” reflective numbers on both sides a 4.5” x 18” sign
We are able to provide 3” reflective (silver/black) stickers for both sides of a mailbox for $5. These stickers meet the ordinance standard and can be applied to most plastic or metal mailboxes. They are not intended for brick or stone. Firefighters are available to apply the stickers to your mailbox.
We can also supply homeowners with an address sign that they install on their mailbox post or next to their driveway. These signs are a reflective green background, with reflective white numbers (similar to mile marker signs). The fire department can supply these signs for $15, and homeowners can install them.
You can order your address markings below or send an email to Address@BallardsvilleFire.com and let us know if you would like mailbox numbers ($5), a sign ($15) or both ($20). For email orders you will receive an invoice by email that you may pay online with credit card or you may pay with cash or check when we apply the stickers to your mailbox or drop off the sign. Online orders will require immediate credit card payment.
