Change Road Name

The process for changing a road name in С»ÆÑ¼ÊÓÆµ County varies with the type of road and where it is located.  

If the road is in a city or town's planning jurisdiction, contact the city or town's Planning Department for assistance. Contact us at GIS911addressing@wake.gov if the road is in the unincorporated area of С»ÆÑ¼ÊÓÆµ County.

See the Public and Private Streets page to determine the location and whether the road is public or private. 

Public Roads

Public road name changes require a public hearing at a С»ÆÑ¼ÊÓÆµ County Board of Commissioners meeting. The person requesting it must own property along the road, and a majority of the property owners must agree to the change.  

Contact us at GIS911addressing@wake.gov for details. 

Private Roads

Private road name changes require the agreement of the property owners. No public hearing is needed.
