Municipal Addressing
Get a Rural Address
A rural address, also known as a 911 address, helps emergency services, County services, and visitors find your property.
If you need a rural address, complete the County’s Rural Address Application. Your address is based on the road and access point used to reach your property.
If there is no existing approach into your property, contact Public Works at 780-645-3006 before completing your application.
There is currently no charge for a new Rural Address Sign or a replacement sign.
Why your Rural Address Matters
Emergency Services
Your rural address helps police, fire, and ambulance crews find your property more quickly in an emergency.
The County shares rural addressing information with TELUS 911 for emergency dispatch.
County Services
Your rural address helps County staff identify and locate your property when providing services, responding to requests, or updating property information. Keeping your address visible and up to date helps make sure the right location is easy to find.
Visitors and Deliveries
A clearly posted rural address makes it easier for visitors and service providers to find your home.
Your rural address is not the same as your mailing address. Canada Post assigns your mailing address and postal code.
Keep your Address easy to find
A couple of simple steps can make a big difference, especially in an emergency.
Keep your sign visible.
Make sure your Rural Address Sign can be clearly seen from the road so emergency crews, service providers, and visitors can find your property.
Know your address.
Write down your rural address and keep it somewhere easy to find inside your home. This makes it easier to provide the correct address if you ever need emergency assistance.
