It has come to the attention of the Village Office that many homes do not display and/or illuminate the house number as required by Village Code.
The purpose of these regulations is to require the clear display of house numbers on every building and to provide property illumination for safety and security.
This code is for the safety of everyone in our Village and for those that may need to respond to any emergencies that may arise including fire and medical. This law applies to all homes in the Village including those owners that are on vacation, traveling, or otherwise away.

The color of the numbers shall be in sharp contrast to the color of their background.
Please insure that your home complies with the Village Code,
Chapter 60: Health, Safety and Sanitation, § 60-7 Numbering of buildings. The Law States: Noncompliance will be deemed a violation.
