Public Information
The Frederick County Addressing Ordinance was adopted by the Board of County Commissioners for your safety so that emergency responders can find YOU or your loved one as quickly as possible in the event of an emergency. Failure to properly post your address may result in a civil fine of $25.
Remember, YOUR life or the life of your loved one may depend on us finding you quickly!
Note: Address posting for multi-family residential (apartments and condominiums) and commercial properties have different requirements.
