County bill targets homeowners

Many Baltimore County homeowners may be required to magnify address numbers on the front of their homes and add numbers to the rear of their homes under a proposal lawmakers said will assist police and fire crews.

Members of the County Council are scheduled Tuesday to discuss a proposal requiring address numbers on the front of all homes to be at least 3 inches tall. The bill also requires numbers anywhere else on the house visible from streets or alleys that provide vehicular access to the rear of the property.
