City officials said starting March 1, all residential and commercial properties must display official street numbers or face fines.

GREGORY, Texas — Starting March 1, 2026, the City of Gregory will enforce new address numbering requirements for all residential and commercial buildings to improve 911 emergency response and public safety.

The City of Gregory said under the new ordinance, every property must display its official street number assigned by the city’s 911 coordinator. 

Numbers must be clearly visible from the street, at least three inches tall, in a contrasting color, and placed on or near the main entrance. 

Properties with fences must also display the number at the gate.

Yard signs with address information are allowed, but do not replace the required building numbers.

Property owners will not receive a certificate of occupancy until the correct 911 address numbers are displayed. Violations may result in fines of up to $500 per day, per violation. 

Residents with questions or needing assistance can contact City Hall at (361) 643-6562.

City officials say these changes are essential to ensure emergency responders can quickly locate homes and businesses, keeping the community safe and accessible.
