Address Assignment

When is an Address Assignment Permit Required?

Whenever you are either proposing an address change for an existing property, or proposing original addresses for a new property, an Address Assignment Permit is required.

How do I get the Permit?

All permit applications shall be submitted electronically through the eTRAKIT Permit Portal. If you are having trouble accessing eTRAKIT or need assistance, please call Eve Cuddihy at (949) 248-3564 or refer to our How to Create Your Account Guide(PDF, 207KB).

PLEASE BE ADVISED:  The City of Dana Point has been made aware of fraudulent emails being sent to some eTRAKIT portal users requesting payment of invoices via wire transfer.

• The City DOES NOT request or accept payment via wire transfer.
• If you receive an email requesting payment that seems unusual, urgent, or directs you to wire funds, do not respond or send payment.
• Official communications will only come from @danapoint.org email addresses.

If you are unsure whether a payment request is legitimate, please contact the Community Development Department directly at (949) 248-3564.

How does this process help me?

The address assignment permit accomplishes many functions that help both you and the City. This permit process ensures your house will be easily found in case of a 911 emergency because the addressing plan is reviewed to ensure the proposed addressing makes sense in relation to nearby properties and streets. After the review process is complete the city also sends out address change notifications on your behalf to all affected parties, including Post Office, Fire Dept, etc.

Related Fees and Deposits

No fees are due upon submittal. Upon Permit Issuance, processing fees of $406.00 per address involved in the change request are due.

What other documents do I need?

All the requirements will be listed and available on our eTRAKIT Permit Portal. If you have any questions, please contact Dean Brady at dbrady@danapoint.org or 949-248-3592.
