The Town of Redington Shores is reminding all residents and business owners to ensure their property address is clearly visible from the street. Proper address identification not only helps emergency responders find you faster — it’s also a requirement under the Florida Residential Code Section R319.1 and an important part of keeping our community safe.

Why Visible Address Numbers Are Important

Clear, easy‑to‑read address numbers help:

  • Emergency responders locate your home or business faster.
  • Delivery drivers, visitors, and service providers find you without delay.
  • Improve overall neighborhood safety and visibility.

What You Should Check

To stay compliant with the Florida Building Code and to help first responders, make sure your address numbers are:

  • Visible from the street
  • Contrasting in color from the background surface
  • At least 4 inches tall
  • At least 0.5 inches wide
  • Not blocked by plants, décor, or other obstructions

These simple steps ensure your property can be identified quickly when seconds matter.

The Town of Redington Shores Building Department enforces Florida Residential Code Section R319.1, which requires approved address identification visible from the street.
