911 address for a new build
The short answer
Go through the LeFlore County Assessor's office. It is at 100 S. Broadway, Suite A, in Poteau, open Monday to Friday from 8 AM to 4:30 PM, at (918) 647-3652. The office has a deputy who handles mapping and 911 addressing, and a Request Address Form is listed on the Forms page of the Assessor's website.
The form is filled out online. You give your contact information, the owner of the building and the land, why you need the address (new construction), the type of building, the name of the road you turn off of, and how long your driveway is. Then you tap a map to drop one pin on the building and one where your driveway meets the road.
Most requests are finished within 3 business days. If the office can't place the address from what you sent, someone may need to come out and look, which takes longer. The address goes into the local 911 database so ambulances, fire trucks and deputies can find you.

📍 Step by step
Filling out the Request Address Form
Have this ready: your name and phone number, the name of whoever owns the building and the land if it isn't you, and the reason, which for a new home is new construction. You also pick the type of building, like residential, commercial or agricultural.
Next, give the name of the signed road your driveway comes off of and about how many feet the building sits back from that road. Add anything that helps them find it, like the distance from an intersection, a neighbor's address or the lot number in a subdivision.
Last, zoom in on the map and drop two pins: one on the building and one where the driveway meets the road. If you're not sure the pins are right, the form has a box to check so the office calls you. A good, exact location matters, because a building in the wrong spot can be readdressed later.
