Addressing Information

Address Assignment

Walworth County has implemented a rural numbering system in order to create a countywide 911 system that will provide more efficient emergency services. Rural numbers are required  on any site which has an improvement, such as a home, cottage, or storage building. The Land Information Division is responsible for assigning addresses in the following nine communities:

  • East Troy Township                                                    
  • Geneva Township                                                       
  • Lafayette Township                                              
  • Linn Township    
  • Richmond Township
