Those Green Driveway Posts

In 2009 Union County completed a new county wide addressing system that included the renaming of many roads and a recalculation of all addresses. An address is now based on the distance of a driveway entrance (1,000ths of a mile) from a given road with even numbered addresses on the right and odd numbered addresses on the left.

For example, the address for Louise McTaggart and Associates is 965 Murphy Hwy (Hwy-129 North), which means that we are .965-miles from the intersection of Hwy-515 and Hwy-129.

For further information on addressing in Union County:

Culvert inspection
Union County requires property owners, who are constructing a road or driveway, to obtain a Culvert Permit from the Union County Road Department if the road or driveway in question connects directly with a county maintained road. A 911 address will not be issued until the driveway is established.
