Street Names and Addresses

Street Addressing

The assignment of street names and numbers is the responsibility of the Office of Planning and Zoning and is implemented by the Research and GIS Division (Article 17, Title 6-107 of the Anne Arundel County Code).

Street name assignments are handled as part of the Development Review Process. The Research & GIS Division is notified at Final Development Plan stage. There are circumstances where it is necessary to change existing street numbers and/or names for public safety purposes.
