The Municipality became involved with civic addressing when the Province announced
that it would implement an enhanced 911 Emergency Response System in the mid- 1990's. All
structures within each Municipality throughout Nova Scotia were assigned a civic
number.
The addressing system, now in place, is updated and maintained by the Department
of Community Development Planning staff at the Municipality. New numbers are
assigned, maps are updated, and the necessary agencies/departments are advised of
all new numbers and/or updates.
A civic address is necessary for:
- 911 Emergency Response
- Mail Delivery
- Service Delivery
- Utility Hook-ups
New Civic Addresses
New civic numbers are assigned during the building permit application process. Once
a permit is issued, the civic number is assigned. Building permits are obtained
at the Department of Community Development Services, Municipal Complex, 87 Cornwallis
Street, Kentville. To inquire about the permit process, contact the Municipality
at 690-6152.
