Rural Property Addressing aims to provide all occupied rural properties with a nationally recognized address that will assist Emergency Services and other service providers in locating a property. A rural address will consist of a distance-based road number, road name, locality, and postcode. The new addresses will only identify the property location and not who lives there, therefore not impacting the privacy of the residents.

For a new or existing structure that does not have an official 9-1-1 address one will be provided once appropriate procedures are followed:
- If the property driveway comes off County maintained road then a County Road Driveway Permit is needed before an address is issued. That permit can be obtained from the County Road Department by calling (575) 354-2922.
- If the property driveway comes off a private road then the driveway needs to be in place in order to obtain a GPS marking of the location. Once the GPS is marked a 9-1-1 address will be issued. Contact the County Road Department by calling (575) 354-2922.
