Can first responders locate your residence in an EMERGENCY?
In an emergency, police, fire, and rescue workers depend on house numbers to find YOU as quickly as possible. Finding your home – especially at night – can be challenging if address numbers are unreadable, hidden, unlighted, or have missing numbers and may delay emergency responders from getting to you as quickly as possible.
Are your house numbers visible from the street? Are they set on a background of contrasting colors? If your house is hidden from the street, are your numbers attached to a fence, mailbox, or gate? Is your mobile home identified with your house numbers? If you live on a corner, does your house number face the street named in your address?
If you’ve answered “NO” to any of these questions, please refer to the helpful suggestions below to make sure your house number is easy to read:
Remember, these are only a few recommendations for first responders to easily locate your residence in an EMERGENCY. If you have any questions regarding where to place your house numbers, please contact Maury County Addressing Department (931) 381-3190

If you’ve answered “NO” to any of these questions, please refer to the helpful suggestions below to make sure your house number is easy to read:
- Numbers need to be visible from the street. The recommended size is at least 5 inches high.
- Numbers should be placed on or beside the front door. If your door is not easily seen from the street, put the numbers on a post, fence or tree at the driveway entrance so they can be clearly seen from the street.
- Numbers on the residence should be placed near a porch light for easy visibility.
- Numbers on the mailbox should be placed on contrasting backgrounds, with a reflective coating on the numbers for easy visibility at night.
- Prune any brushes, tree limbs or other growth that has covered your house numbers.
- On your mailbox, the house number should be placed on both sides of the mailbox.
- If several mailboxes are together at the end of a long driveway due to several residences at the location, place a post near your residence with the house number.
