Subdivisions
Addresses for subdivisions are determined when the final plat is under review. Prior to addressing, the developer will need to coordinate with Brandy Webster at Cabarrus County (no matter where the project is inside the city) and possibly Columbus Hawkes at Rowan County (if the project is in the Rowan part of the city) to get street and project name approval.
Preliminary Addresses will be sent through Accela, and then once the plat has been recorded and parcels have been split in the database by the tax office, official addresses will be done. Once they're input in the addresser, they need to update overnight before they'll be available in Accela for permitting.
Individual Parcels or Small Projects
If you need an address to apply for a permit in Accela, please email our GIS Specialist, Laura Coppola.
