STREET NAME APPROVAL
The Development Services Section of the Planning Department has the responsibility of assigning new addresses in the incorporated areas as well as the Extra-Territorial Jurisdiction (ETJ) of the Town of Wake Forest. The Planning Department along with Wake County GIS reviews and approves all proposed street names to avoid duplication. Street names can be verified by accessing the Wake County real estate master file database on the Wake County webpage link below.
The addressing procedure is based on a logical progression of numbers starting at the Town’s center, and is intended to avoid any address duplications across Wake County, in order to avoid any confusion for public service providers such as police, fire, refuse removal, and for private service delivery providers. Even numbers are generally assigned on the right (heading outward from the center) and odd numbers on the left. Addresses are usually assigned prior to building permit review or at a subdivision final plat review.
