In 1995, Leon County and the City of Tallahassee took a collective approach to resolve addressing issues by forming the Addressing Steering Committee. Some of these issues are duplicate addresses, odd and even discrepancies, and non-sequential order of numbers. This committee aims to provide a complete set of addresses for Leon County and the City of Tallahassee and develop a uniform and compatible system for users of this information.

Leon County Growth and Environmental Management and Tallahassee-Leon County Geographic Information Systems (GIS) would like citizens to know that issues are being corrected and ask for compliance when new addresses are assigned. The long-term effects of this project will benefit the entire community.

Although addresses are being changed, the Computer Aided Dispatch System, which emergency responders use to respond to calls, cross references addresses so they are able to respond without being impeded by the address changes.

The rearrangement of addresses is a collaborative effort between the County and City governments. The County will send letters to those who own property on Capital Circle and will be affected by the project this spring (2007). In some cases, resurveying make take place due to the construction on Capital Circle. Addressing issues are broken into four quads: Capital Circle NE, Capital Circle NW, Capital Circle SE, and Capital Circle SW. The total possible address changes for the Capital Circle project is 61, and the total is subject to change.
