Sign Permits

Obtaining a sign permit is an essential part of ensuring your business stays compliant with local regulations while showcasing your brand. Whether you're installing a new outdoor sign or updating an existing one, navigating the permit process can seem complicated. Our service is here to streamline the process for you. Here’s a simple guide on how to pull a sign permit for your business.

1. Understand Your Local Sign Ordinances

Before applying for a permit, it's crucial to understand the regulations governing signage in your area. Different cities, counties, and even neighborhoods can have specific rules regarding the size, location, and design of signs. These can include restrictions on:

- Sign dimensions (height, width, and area)

- Placement (e.g., on-premises or off-premises)

- Materials and design elements (e.g., illuminated signs, digital displays)

- Zoning requirements (e.g., residential vs. commercial areas)

- Permitted hours of display

Our team can help you navigate these regulations, ensuring your sign is fully compliant with local laws.

2. Prepare Your Sign Design and Location Details

To apply for a sign permit, you'll need to provide detailed information about your proposed sign. This typically includes:

- Sign Design and Specifications: A rendering of the sign, including dimensions, colors, materials, and lighting details.

- Location Information: A site plan showing where the sign will be installed (on your property, along the street, etc.), along with any nearby landmarks or structures.

- Zoning Compliance: Proof that the sign complies with local zoning regulations for your area.

-Engineering documentation: Structural engineering is needed for freestanding signage. Some municipalities also require this on other aspects of signage.

Our experts can assist in collaborating with you to prepare these documents to meet local requirements, ensuring that your application is complete and accurate.

3. Submit Your Application

Once you have all the necessary documentation, it’s time to submit your sign permit application. Depending on your location, this process can usually be done online through your city or county’s building department or planning office. The application will typically require you to:

- Provide your business and property details

- Provide your contractor Information

- Submit your sign design and site plans

- Pay an application fee (fees vary depending on the jurisdiction)

4. Review and Approval Process

After submission, your application will go through a review process. Local authorities will evaluate the proposed sign to ensure it complies with all zoning, safety, and aesthetic guidelines. If your sign meets all criteria, the permit will be approved.

If any issues arise (e.g., non-compliance with size restrictions or visibility concerns), you may be asked to revise your design and resubmit the application. We are here to help you through this process.

5. Issuance of the Permit

Once your application is approved, you'll be issued a sign permit. This permit authorizes you to install the sign and ensures that you can legally display it. Be sure to keep a copy of the permit on hand for reference.

6. Installation and Inspection

After receiving your permit, you can proceed with the installation of your sign. Many localities require a final inspection once the sign is in place to ensure it conforms to the approved design and complies with all safety standards. Our team can help coordinate this inspection once your sign is ready for approval.

7. Ongoing Compliance and Maintenance

After your sign is installed and approved, it’s important to stay on top of any changes to local sign ordinances. Depending on your area, permits may need to be renewed periodically, or your sign may need adjustments if regulations change. We offer ongoing support to ensure your signage stays compliant over time.
