9-1-1 Program
What is a 9-1-1 rural address?
A 9-1-1 rural address is the "physical" entry way to your property that lays outside of city limits. Your 9-1-1 rural address will be used no differently than a “regular” address. When you dial 9-1-1 from a landline phone in an emergency, this is the location information that is available to a dispatcher. When you are at home and dial 9-1-1 on a cell phone in an emergency, this will be the address you must tell the dispatcher.
What is the purpose of 911 rural addressing?
The 911 rural addressing service is designed to improve public safety by saving time in locating 911 incoming emergency calls. Your physical address tells the emergency dispatcher exactly where you live. This information can then be relayed to the proper responding authority such as the Police, Fire, and Ambulance. This enables them to find your residence quickly and easily.
How do I get a 9-1-1 address?
To obtain your 9-1-1 rural address fill out the “9-1-1 Rural Address Application” below and email it to addressing@gcrpc.org, or call 361-578-1587, Option 3 for more information.
The application can also be submitted at the Golden Crescent Regional Planning Commission, 1908 N Laurent St. Ste 600. Victoria TX, 77901.
Disclaimers
To receive mailing services, you will need to provide your completed and verified address form to your local post office for your address to be entered into the US Postal Service mailing system.
We do not update public mapping services. Our services only update 911 mapping software that is NOT open to the public.
If you are having trouble locating your address in public mapping services (Google, MapQuest, Apple, etc..), you will have to contact those mapping services for corrections on the location of your address.
Form Purposes
The form collects information about the requester, the property in question, and the type of property (e.g., residence, business, farm structure) to ensure proper classification and allocation of addresses. It helps streamline the administration of the 9-1-1 Addressing Program and ensures the efficient provision of emergency services within the Golden Crescent 9-1-1 Region.
New Address Requests
Individuals or organizations can request the assignment of a new physical address for a property that currently lacks one. This is essential for emergency services to locate the property accurately in the event of an emergency.
Verification of Existing Addresses
Requests can be made to verify the accuracy of existing physical addresses.
Change of Existing Addresses
If there are discrepancies or changes required for an existing physical address, such as due to renumbering or road changes, this form facilitates the process of updating the records.
