Nueces County Department of Public Works is charged with establishing and maintaining a uniform addressing system for the rural areas of Nueces County. This is accomplished by assigning address numbers to the various properties, collecting occupant information, and providing updates of the address information to the public safety answering point.

Any time a new house is built or when people change residences in the rural areas of Nueces County an Address Verification Form should be submitted to Nueces County Department of Public Works. The information provided is forwarded to the public safety answering point for use if emergency assistance is requested.

Please contact Mary Jane Guerra by email maryjane.guerra@nuecesco.com for more information or to request addressing.

For the Addressing Program to work effectively all houses should display a street address number. The address numbers should be clearly visible, placed in a conspicuous location, oriented toward the road, and have numerals a minimum of three (3) inches in height.
