We have an address!

My husband has been asking since we bought the land how we obtain an address, with not a lot of luck getting an answer.  Finally we are told that after the basement is poured we will be given an address by the county planning committee.  Our basement walls were there, so he called to obtain an address, and was told someone would be out in the near future to look at the property and give us an address.  Later in the day he received a phone call from the city inspector, who said he was told to give us an address.  What a mess, but we have an address now! :)
