Present Day
Using the correct address allows emergency service responders to locate the caller in optimum response time, the USPS to deliver the mail appropriately, and the public to easily find a location in the Salt Lake Valley.
Some of the Addressing Office responsibilities are street name approval, assigning addresses in unincorporated County, and maintaining the property location for Salt Lake County.
The County Addressing Office implemented an ordinance that defines the requirements of urban style addressing, the naming of streets, and the posting of address numbers.
