I doubt it. I also don't think that would ever be a street number, but I could be wrong. |

Neighbor of mine changed their number from 17 (which it had been for over 20 years) to 18 because their house is on the "even" side of the street.
Where we live, the number is based on the distance from your house to the main road. So ours is about 2/10 of a mile from the main road -- hence, #22. I would think you could change it minimally -- from 666 to 664 or 668 -- assuming there isn't a 664 or 668 already. |

As I said, I could be wrong, and you have proven me so. |

No, you cannot. The address is registers with all local jurisdictions and the only way to do this would be to contact every jurisdiction (if you live in a city, otherwise, county, state, etc) and request to change. But there are many, many records of the property from the deed, to the property record, to the utilities in each jurisdiction that it is very hard to get all of the legal ties to the property address changed.

| You can't change the house number but you can change the street name. Royally pissed that my address was just changed from Lee Highway to Cherry Hill Road in Arlington. It sounds like I live in Ashburn or one of those bougie suburbs. |

| What about 666 1/2? |

| If your lot has two numbers associated with it - or your street skipped numbers - you might be able to pull it off. Otherwise, it'll be easier to move. |

I don't get all the people saying no, developers do this all the time. I also know a homeowner who owns a house on a corner and he got his address changed from one street to the cross street because he thought it was more prestigious.
Obviously if the neighbors on both sides have sequential numbers there's no easy number for you to change to. |
