Who assigns my Address?

The Morgan County Emergency Management Communication District (MCEMCD) has been designated by the Morgan County Commission as the addressing authority for Morgan County except in the city limits of Decatur and Hartselle. Addresses in Decatur are assigned by the Planning Department and Hartselle by the Building Inspector.

Why do I need a 911 Address?

In order to properly locate where a 911 call originates a structure must have an address. If you do not have a correct address it would be very difficult to locate your residence or business in an emergency.

Where should I post my 911 Address?

Your address should be posted at your driveway, visible from both directions of travel. It is preferable that the numbers be at least 3 inches tall and reflective to ensure they are visible at night.

How is the address assigned?

The system of addressing employed in Morgan County is called Modified Equal Interval in this system an address is assigned every 10.56 feet. The beginning of the road is zero, even addresses are on the left and odd addresses are on the right. A device called a Distance Measuring Instrument (DMI) is used to calculate the address. The distance from the beginning of the road to your driveway is measured then your address is calculated.

How do I get an address?

For all new structures in Morgan County you must call the MCEMCD Administrative office at (256) 552-0911 and provide the following information:

1. Name of road/street where the structure will be located

2. Location of structure (nearby neighbors address) ex. I will be building next door to 234 Smith Rd

3. Your name and phone number so we can call back with your address

4. Mark your drive on either side with wooden stakes with 911 written on the stakes.
