Addressing

911 addressing is a confidential information database that links telephone numbers and addresses at the time of a 911 emergency call.

With our offices now being conveniently located under one roof at the Cherokee County Administration building, any information we need to assign an address is easily obtained.

To get a 911 Address, you must complete an addressing request form either on this page directly through the Cherokee County website or in person within the Addressing Office. Once this request form is complete, you will receive an invoice for $25.00 per address that can be paid in the Building Codes Department via cash or card. You will receive a receipt of payment that may be provided to the Addressing Office. At that time, you will receive an address. There are times as well that you will be required to locate on Cherokee County maps in the Addressing Department the location on a property where the address is needed.

It is not required to have your Tax Map Number, although it IS very helpful. 

911 Addressing/Mapping will assign your street address.  You will need to contact the post office that will deliver your mail regarding the placement of your mailbox. 

The maps and other information about roads, addresses, businesses, etc., are loaded onto consumer navigation devices by the commercial companies that manufacture them. Neither the U.S. Government’s GPS programs NOR Cherokee County Government, SC, provides any of this data.

You can, however, be assured that 911 Dispatch is provided with all road updates, changes and deletions on a weekly basis. These updates are provided to them in-house by this office to ensure that emergency service responders can locate callers in a time of emergency.
