During this sixty-day period, the Livingston Parish Building/Permit shall notify the appropriate fire department, post office, 911 communication district, registrar of voters office, ambulance service and the sheriff's office of the road name change. In addition, all property owners and residents must obtain a change of address application from the parish building permit office.
