The Address Change Process

- Account #: Provide the deeded property account number.
OR
- Parcel Identification Number: Provide the district, map, and parcel of the deeded property.
- Sign and Date: Sign and date the form to certify ownership of the property or legal power of attorney of the owner to request the address change.
- Phone Number and Email: Provide your current phone number and email address. These contact details are crucial in the event that there are questions or problems with the information provided.
Please Note: The mailing address is used for ALL mailings (Personal Property and Real Property), including, but not limited to, tax bills, notice of increase in assessment, or any other notification. A copy of this change of address form will be provided to the Ambulance Authority and the Fire Board.
