A new Benton County address starts with Central Dispatch
Benton County Central Dispatch handles new 911 addresses and asks for the parcel number, driveway plan, and GIS map for the proposed property.
A new Benton County driveway needs an emergency address before it needs a mailbox number. Central Dispatch handles 911 addressing from 1231 Hirsch Parkway in Warsaw during weekday business hours.
Bring the parcel number, a driveway plan, and a GIS map that shows the proposed property location. Those three pieces keep the address tied to where responders actually need to go, not just to the nearest road name. After Dispatch has the GPS coordinates, the new address is sent off and usually comes back in about two or three business days.
This is a good early errand for lake lots, rural splits, and wooded tracts near Warsaw or the county roads. Utilities, contractors, deliveries, and emergency responders all work better when the driveway location and 911 address match from the start.
