Jim Sahlie, (910) 341-5826, Jim.Sahlie@wilmingtonnc.gov

Approved street names must be properly labeled on all final construction plans and final plats submitted to the City. Failure to properly label the names may result in the re-submittal or re-recording of a construction plan or plat.

Street names may not duplicate, sound-alike, or be similar to any other street name or development name in New Hanover County (Addressing Standards and Procedures, Section 2.2.5).

Street names must be a minimum of three (3) characters and a maximum of twenty-four (24) characters in length (Addressing Standards and Procedures, Section 2.2.1 and 2.2.2).

Street names should avoid the use of special characters, such as hyphens, apostrophes, or periods (Addressing Standards and Procedures, Section 2.2.3).

Continuous streets passing from one existing subdivision to a new one should continue the same name (Addressing Standards and Procedures, Section 2.3.4).
