Obtaining a new Address

To obtain an address for a new building site when construction is imminent, please contact our office at (814) 765-2641 ext 5001 or email us at ccgis@clearfieldco.org  Do not contact the Post Office first.  Please have the following information ready and be able to describe to us over the phone or provide us with an aerial map from Google Maps, our Map Viewer website, or any other mapping site to indicate:

  • The approximate location of the structure to be built.
  • The location of the intersection of the driveway and the nearest named road. This is the driveway entrance.
  • The path the driveway will take to the addressable structure.

The accuracy of the information provided will be field checked by our office after construction to insure correct address placement.  This may require you to change your address if the location details provided to us were not clear or were changed after contacting our office for address assignment.

Most addresses will be able to be assigned over the phone during the course of the call and most email requests will be assigned by the next day.  The naming of private lanes is a longer process and will take municipal involvement and more time.  Please contact us for details.

911 Addressing

The Clearfield County GIS Department, with assistance from Clearfield County EMA and area municipalities, is responsible for the creation and maintenance of the 911 address database used to dispatch emergency responders through the county's computer-aided dispatching system. Every addressable structure in Clearfield County has been assigned a city-style address (building number, street name, street type) and whenever a new home, camp, business, or other addressable building is built, a new number should be assigned to the new site - no matter how close it is to an existing address number. Feel free to contact the Clearfield County GIS Department to determine if a new address number will be needed. The GIS Department does not establish policies and standards but it does play a key role in coordinating efforts and providing information.
