Getting a street number/address assigned to a vacant lot
I would like to acquire some land or a lot, preferably at a low price. Here's the thing: if I purchase a vacant lot, I would want an actual street number/address assigned to it by the city or town so that I can put up a mailbox and receive mail there. I've read mixed thoughts regarding the possibility of this. A few things I've read said that a structure is required on the lot in order to get a street number assigned. OK, well what about an 'outbuilding'? I could get one of those pre-fab sheds that are sold at Lowe's and Home Depot and put that on my lot. Would that qualify as a structure?
I guess the question is: how difficult is it usually to get a street number/address assigned to a vacant lot or raw land?
