DEMING – The Luna County Planning Department has announced that effective immediately, the county’s GIS Department will oversee the full rural addressing process. This transition is designed to improve efficiency and ensure better service for residents while aligning with Next Generation 911 (NG911) standards.
GIS—short for Geographic Information Systems—is the technology used to map, manage, and analyze spatial data. In the context of rural addressing, the GIS Department is now solely responsible for creating and assigning addresses, managing mapping systems, and ensuring that address data complies with emergency response standards.
Previously, address requests and updates were coordinated through the Planning Department. Now, residents seeking to request a new address, correct existing address information, or inquire about road names, address numbers, or discrepancies should contact the GIS Department directly.
Why This Matters:
- All address-related requests must now go through the GIS Department.
- Faster and more accurate address assignments are expected under this system.
- GIS professionals will now handle location-specific questions directly.
Residents with questions or address needs may contact the Luna County GIS Department at 575-543-6502 or by email at [email protected].
