Address Documents

Sedgwick County has been working on an addressing project which will be an information resource to many local jurisdictions, including Emergency Communications (911), the Elections Office, the Tag Offices and the cities of Sedgwick County. As part of this effort, the Wichita/Sedgwick County Address Committee has developed addressing standards that ensure logical and consistent assignment of addresses. The document, Addressing in A Regional Context, has taken two years to research and compile. It includes addressing best practices from around the country - modified to fit our local needs - and is an excellent resource for anyone involved in naming streets and assigning address numbers in Sedgwick County.
