Street Naming Rules
- The main objective is to provide clear street names for both citizens and emergency dispatch. Minimizing the possibility of emergency personnel being unable to find a location or showing up at a similar, but incorrect location, is a vital objective.
- Street names should be unique and not repeated in the county from this point forward, with the exception of continuation of existing streets.
- Homophones and homonyms of any existing street names are not acceptable.
- Recommended that road names be simple to pronounce.
- Street names cannot contain any punctuation or special characters. ONLY alphabetical symbols A - Z and numbers 0-9 and blank spaces may be used in street names.
- A street name may consist of up to four parts:
cardinal direction prefix, street name, street type suffix, and quadrant suffix.
For example: N Raleigh Hills Dr SW
- When you reserve name, you are ONLY reserving the street name.
- You may apply your choice of street type suffix from the approved list at a later time.
- A different street type suffix DOES NOT make a name unique.
- Only roads in the county's jurisdiction (including municipal ETJs) will have a quadrant suffix.
- Roads in a municipal jurisdiction WILL NOT have the quadrant suffix added.
- No curse words, derogatory, or otherwise offensive terms shall be used for road names.
- Existing street names shall continue across intersections and roundabouts.
- Continuous roads should have continuous names.

Procedure for Reserving Street Names
After checking your names against the 'Streets Lookup' database above, send a list by FAX (910-253-2399) or e-mail (jclemmons@brunsco.net) to the attention of Jan Clemmons. The names will then be rechecked for any conflicts and a reply will show which names have been reserved to you.
DO NOT SEND A LIST OF NAMES WITHOUT FIRST CHECKING THE 'STREETS LOOKUP' DATABASE!
REMEMBER
A street name may consist of up to four parts:
cardinal direction prefix, street name, street type suffix, and quadrant suffix.
For example:
| N |
RALEIGH HILLS |
DR |

|
EGRET |
LN |

JOHN GALT |

When you reserve a road name, you are ONLY reserving the street name.
You may apply your choice of street type suffix from the approved list at a later time.
A different street type suffix DOES NOT make a name unique.
Only roads in the county's jurisdiction (including municipal ETJs) will have a quadrant suffix.
