Street Addresses

After the City Council voted to implement a street address system for the City, one of the most frequently asked questions at City Hall is, “now that I have a new address, will there be mail delivery to my house?” and “do I have to put up a mailbox?”.

The answer to both questions is “No. The City’s tradition of picking up mail at the downtown USPS Post Office will continue. In Carmel-by-the-Sea, mail will only be delivered to P.O. Boxes .”

This is a DRAFT Addressing Map. This map is meant to be a tool to familiarize the community with the proposed numbered addresses system. 

The address number assignments in this map have not been finalized or implemented and are still subject to final approval by the City of Carmel-By-The-Sea City Council, County of Monterey, and USPS Address Management Systems.  None of the draft address number assignments should be used for providing your location officially or unofficially.
