Fire Number Sign Replacement
Fire signs are crucial for emergency personnel to locate them in the case of an emergency.
If a resident wants to replace a faded fire sign, they need to obtain an address number application for replacement from the Real Property Lister at the Adams County court house.
The house number application is also available on the Adams County website at "house number application".
Replacement cost is $40 and will be added to the property tax bill as a special assessment.
