The City of Peterborough is reminding residents that myAddress Verification, an interactive online tool, quickly verifies officially recognized addresses in the city.
First responders use official addresses to locate people quickly and accurately if there is an emergency call for service.
Residents can verify a property address online and ensure that additional units at a single address are accounted for.
Data collected in myAddress Verification are also provided to external service providers like 911 Emergency Services, Canada Post and Hydro One.
The City's Municipal Address By-law ensures that a consistent system is used to assign or modify municipal addresses. Whenever an address in the City is modified or a new address is created, memos are sent to notify stakeholders and property owners. The Search Address Memo tool can be used to find Address Notification Memos issued by the City since 2004.
