Your blue address sign will be horizontal and look like the example above.
Why Should I Buy a Blue Address Sign?
A delayed response in an emergency is often due to a lack of address visibility. Ambulance crews, firefighters, and law enforcement depend on highly visible address signs when responding to a call for help. Having a clear, easy-to-read sign can make all the difference in an emergency. Every minute counts.
Blue address signs have been distributed throughout Kitsap County for many years. Recently, the Department of Community Development and Public Works partnered to create a more efficient process and improve sign quality for our community. New signs will have enhanced reflective materials equivalent to highway sign standards.
These signs are available for your purchase:
First Sign = $28
Additional Signs = $22
If you received notice that your address was changed because of the address correction project, you may be eligible for one free sign.
How Do I Order a Blue Address Sign?
You can review the step-by-step video here to guide you in the process. You will submit your request through the Online Permit Center. The production time frame is 35 to 60 days.
Where Do I Post My Address Sign?
The sign should be placed upon a post or other structure that displays the numbers at least 4 feet above the ground to be legible from the roadway. The sign must not be placed on posts containing street names. Attachment of address signs to County Right-of-Way street signposts may result in the removal and disposal of unauthorized signs.
Please refer to Kitsap County Code 16.66.060 Display of Designations for additional information regarding address posting. An example of appropriate placement of address signs can be found HERE.
