Explanation
§ This interlocal agreement by and between Mecklenburg County, the City of Charlotte, and the Towns of Cornelius, Davidson, Huntersville, Matthews, Mint Hill, and Pineville, collectively referred to as “Participants,” delegates the responsibility for the assignment of street addresses to Mecklenburg County and the provisions of the Mecklenburg County Street Address Ordinance.
§ The original agreement between Mecklenburg County and the city has been in place for decades, but only an informal agreement has been in place with the other towns.
§ Over the past year, an addressing committee made up of representatives from all Mecklenburg jurisdictions drafted and provided feedback on a new agreement.
§ This new unified approach to the assignment of addresses will promote consistency and efficiency in addressing.
- It is critical that proper street address numbers are created and displayed for effective emergency response, mail delivery, and general identification of properties.
§ The agreement also establishes a new multijurisdictional addressing working committee comprised of staff from each municipality and Mecklenburg County to help administer the interlocal agreement.
