Street/Road Name Request/Change Application Form - County Commission approval is only required when requesting the change of an existing name, but not for naming a new public or private road in the county. The application requires three (3) names to be submitted (in order of preference) for review by the Planning Official. Proposed names should not be duplicates or sound close enough to be confused with any existing public or private road in the county (including the City of Monticello). For a rename request, the Planning Official will generally make a recommendation to approve the proposed first choice of the applicants that meets the appropriate eligibility requirements.
New roads are generally created by some form of minor or major subdivision. In some instances driveways may be required to be named as private roads if they serve as access to more than three residences. This is done to ensure all residences and business buildings are assigned unique 911 addresses. The Planning Official will generally approve the name of a new public or private road as long as it will not duplicate, or could otherwise be reasonably confused with, an existing road name. There is no fee for the initial naming of a road.
