Sarasota County ordinances mandate that all homes must have their street address number prominently displayed.
Numbers should be at least three inches high and be clearly visible from the street. Numbers should not be blocked by landscaping, and simply having the number on your lamp post is not enough.
Police, Fire and Emergency Services depend on clear house numbering in the event of an emergency. If you call for an emergency, seconds count, so make sure your street number is clearly displayed on the front of your home.
