Signage

A Sign Permit is necessary when an occupant wishes to erect or change a ground and/or building mounted sign at his or her place of business (see “Chapter 4”, Sign Ordinance for district regulations). In addition to permanent signage, the Sign Ordinance regulates the use of temporary signs. The city, recognizing the need for marketing “special offerings”, will allow temporary signs to be displayed inside the window of a business, which are erected on a temporary basis for a period of up to 30 days. No other such temporary signs will be allowed.

Signs located on the exterior of the building, as well as ground mounted and erected on a permanent basis, are considered permanent signage and must count toward the sign allotment as designated by the zoning district in which located. Certain signage, such as those displaying the hours and credit cards accepted, are allowed. Specifically, wind activated signs, such as banners, streamers, pennants, etc. with verbiage, are not allowed. However, during “Grand Opening” celebrations, such banners are allowed for a period of up to 30 days. Banners may, however, be hung inside a window on a temporary basis.

To apply for a Sign Permit, review the Sign Ordinance within the Zoning and Land Use Control regulations. A Sign Permit Application may then be completed and submitted for review.
