Benton County has a uniform addressing system across the County. This is the result of a state law mandating that all addressing jurisdictions enact addressing systems that conform to state Emergency 911 standards. Addresses are not determined or issued until a building permit for a residence is issued. Vacant property is not addressed. Some documents, such as Short Plats or Subdivisions, may show a temporary address (indicated with a T before the numbers). These addresses are not official and are subject to change when you apply for a building permit.
