A civic address identifies the physical location of a building and consists of a street number and street name. Generally, a property will be assigned a civic address when it is first built on or when it is created through subdivision.  A secondary suite is also assigned a civic address at the completion of the building process. 

Applications may be made to request:

  • Change of existing civic address
  • New civic address

Requests will be reviewed for consistency with the Addressing Procedure.

If you would like to change homeowner mailing address, please refer to Change Homeowner Information.
