BACKGROUND

An ordinance establishing a uniform numbering system for houses and structures located within the county of Harrison was adopted May 4, 1992 by the Commissioners of Harrison County. (The commissioners who signed this ordinance were J Frederick Royse, Edward B Sieg, and Terry L Miller.) The primary provisions of this ordinance are as follows:

The general rule shall be 1,000 addresses per mile, except in certain areas where the irregular direction of the county highways makes variations necessary, and except in buffer areas adjacent to incorporated cities or towns. Even numbers shall be on the north and east sides of roads and odd numbers on the south and west. The grid system used is constructed on a North, South, East and West basis using the line separating Range 3 East and Range 4 East as the east west divider and the line separating Township 3 South and Township 4 South as the north south divider. The starting point of "O" (zero) for this grid system is at the intersection of the above mentioned lines south of the Town of Corydon.

The posting of house numbers is required as follows:

The owner or occupant of a house or structure located within Harrison County shall post officially assigned numbers in English, using Arabic (not Roman) numerals in a location providing easy identification from the abutting street or road. Such numbers shall be a minimum of three (3) inches in height, made of durable, weatherproof material, and be a color made to stand out distinctly against its background. Such official number may be attached to a mailbox ( according to postal regulations), or on a post, outside light, or any prominent place on the house or structure so that the number is identifiable. Provided, however, that if the building is not visible from a road or is more than 200 feet from a road, the number shall be displayed at the entrance to the access road or driveway to such building by means of a separate marker or on a mailbox. Whenever the number is placed on any object other than the structure itself, it shall be positioned to allow the address of the structure to be readily identified from any direction of travel.
