Visible Numbers On Structures
KENTUCKY...
Pike County’s Emergency Services operates on physical address method of locating houses. Houses without visible numbers, however, inhibits the ability to find certain addresses promptly. An ordinance was adopted by the Pike County Fiscal Court in December of 1993 requiring the owner, occupant or person in charge of a house, building, mobile home or other structure to display numbers on the structure’s exterior no less than three inches in size to aid in the location process. Not having numbers properly displayed poses a danger to the occupants. Pike County Judge-Executive Wayne T. Rutherford was also the judge when the ordinance was adopted in 1993, and he says his reasons for bringing this matter in front of the court nearly 17 years ago remains the same today. "The protection provided by having numbers, visible numbers, on your house is invaluable,” Rutherford said. Failure to comply with the ordinance can result in a fine of $10 a day.
