Henry County 911 Addressing & Emergency Dispatch
Henry County has two Public Safety Answering Points (PSAPs) that handle all 911 calls:
South End Calls ➜ Routed to the City of Headland
North End Calls ➜ Routed to the City of Abbeville
Each city is responsible for dispatching police, fire, and rescue services within their assigned areas.
If you’re moving into a brand new home or business structure in Henry County,
you’ll need to be assigned an e-911 address.
​
Call us at (334) 585-1911 and let us know you need a new address.
We’ll come out to the site to measure the location along the road and take GPS coordinates.
​
This process can take up to 10 business days, so please call as early as possible.
​
Be prepared to provide driving directions to the location, the road name on which the structure is located, your current mailing address, phone number, and a visible
or staked-out driveway.
If the structure itself hasn't been placed or built yet, the location of where it will be must be staked off, as we do not assign addresses to vacant land or undeveloped property.
Henry County uses a measured address system to keep things consistent and efficient for emergency responders.
​
Each mile = 1,000 address numbers
That’s one number every 5.28 feet
Even numbers are on the right side of the road
Odd numbers are on the left​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
Example:
If your address is 5750, that means your home is located 5.75 miles from the starting point of the road, on the right-hand side.
This makes it fast and easy for emergency services to find you in a critical moment.
Having a clear and accurate address can make all the difference in an emergency.
An orderly system helps emergency responders, delivery drivers, and service providers find your location fast.
If you have questions about your address, please call our office at (334) 585-1911.
