The regional 911 map
We keep the roads, addresses, and boundaries on the 911 map up to date, so dispatchers send help to the right place.

Before you start, have ready
- The county the property is in, outside any city’s limits. Inside a city or town, City Hall assigns the address.
- Where the property is, one of three ways: the property ID from your appraisal district statement, its coordinates, or a description (a legal description, or directions from nearby roads).
- The type of property: a home, a business, a multi-family complex, or a subdivision plat.
- A phone number or email where GIS staff can reach you.
- At the property now? Choose coordinates and your phone fills them in with one tap. It is the fastest way for staff to find it.
Prefer to talk it through? Call (806) 762-8721 and ask for GIS staff.
Address questions
Why can’t Google Maps or my GPS find my new address?
Map apps build their own maps and are not connected to the 911 map. A new address can take months to show up in them. You can report it directly in the app (in Google Maps and Apple Maps, look for “Report an issue” or “Add an address”). 911 dispatchers use the regional 911 map, which SPAG updates as soon as your address is assigned.
Why is my mailing address different from my 911 address?
The Postal Service sets mailing addresses, and some rural homes get mail at a route or box number. Your 911 address is where your home actually sits. Once you have it, give it to your phone, internet, and utility companies so their records match.
How should I post my address numbers?
Use large numbers that stand out from the background, ideally reflective, where they can be read from the road in both directions, day or night. If your home is set back from the road, post the numbers at the driveway too.
Does a 911 address change who answers my 911 calls?
No. Your county’s 911 center answers either way. The address makes sure the dispatcher can see exactly where you are and send help to the right place.
