Addressing Department | Knoxville-Knox County Planning

Addressing Department

Assigns all addresses within Knox County, including the City of Knoxville and Town of Farragut.

Why are addresses important?

Addresses identify a specific, one-of-a kind location and tell those who provide important services where to find it. An accurate and visible address is vital for rapidly locating a home or business in an emergency. In addition to mail and package delivery, utilities such as water, electricity, cable and telephone also require a certified address to provide service.

An address can even affect property taxes if incorrect.
