The City of Sheboygan has an ordinance regarding uniform, reflective address numbers on all buildings throughout the city. The Code Enforcement Officers from the Building Inspection Department are enforcing this code to help the Sheboygan Police Department, Fire Department, and First Responders get all property owners to be compliant. While decorative numbers may look nice, they are difficult for emergency personnel to see, especially at night. In situations where time is of the essence, it is important for these emergency responders to be able to locate and identify the correct building quickly. Having all buildings display uniform address numbers placed in the proper location helps to achieve this. It may seem like a small issue, but can make a big difference. Address numbers may only be purchased at cost from the Building Inspection Department on the second floor of City Hall. Numbers should be placed immediately above, on, or at the side of the property door of each building so the number can be seen plainly from the street.
