New 911 Rural Addressing

        Mountain View County has introduced a shortened format for rural addresses.

        The new format looks like this:

            <your_lot_number>-5227 Twp Rd 320 Bergen

    So, if your lot is 198, your new address would be: 198-5227 Twp Rd 320 Bergen.  The county will update the signage at the entrance to the park. Note that this change won’t affect the lot numbering or park map. Rural addressing allows 911 operators to help fire, ambulance, and police find your lot quickly in an emergency. These addresses are essentially street addresses for rural residences.

    Keep a copy of your rural address close to your phone in case of emergency.

    Please read through the tips on calling 911 in the Fire Smart, Health, Safety section of this website
