You must attach a site plan to this request. The site plan must show a north arrow, all property lines and easements, lot/parcel numbers, all existing and proposed structures, driveway accesses, AND adjacent property addresses and driveways including properties across the street.

Submit the address request through https://westlinnoregon.gov/planning/submit-land-use-application.

The City will register new addresses with emergency services, government agencies, and utility companies.

Once assigned, addresses should be displayed readily visible and legible from the street as required by the Uniform Fire Code. Mailboxes should be located on the designated street according to USPS guidelines. A City ROW permit is required to place mailboxes within the right-of-way.
