​Crow Wing County is requesting assistance to ensure our E911 system continues to work effectively by allowing emergency responders to quickly locate those in need of emergency assistance. The proper display of your address number and sign assists emergency responders in quickly locating you when an incident is reported and may reduce response time, save lives and property. If you have a blue 911 address sign on your property, please always keep the sign visible by removing vegetation, debris, snow and other obstruct. If the sign is damaged or removed, please contact the Land Services Department at (218) 824-1010 to assist in getting a new sign installed. If your property is located within the City of Baxter, Brainerd, Breezy Point, Crosby, Crosslake, Jenkins, or Pequot Lakes please contact the city office directly. Under the County Land Use ordinance, E911 address signs or road signs cannot not be altered, defaced, removed, or moved.
