We Handle the Paperwork, You Focus on Your Project.
Signage plays a crucial role in representing the identity of both retail and corporate establishments. Strategically placed indoor and outdoor signs with the right aesthetic appeal serve as a powerful tool for showcasing brand personality and capturing the attention of potential customers.
Obtaining a permit for your signs, including those featuring your logo, is the initial and most significant step towards accomplishing this objective. Whether you are installing a new sign or replacing an existing one for your business, securing a sign permit is essential. These permits ensure that all exterior and interior signage is constructed safely and does not pose any risks to pedestrians, the surrounding environment, or the overall streetscape.
Prior to manufacturing and installing your signage, we will verify its compliance with local zoning regulations and building codes. Depending on the type and location of the sign, you may be required to obtain multiple permits to proceed with the installation process.

Signage requirements vary by city and property, meaning each sign installation is impacted accordingly. Municipal laws outline the specific criteria for outdoor advertising, covering aspects such as sign size, positioning, electrical requirements, materials, hardware, colors, and messaging. Approval and permits must be obtained from the city development services department prior to placing a sign on a property or building.
Before installing an outdoor sign, it is essential to familiarize yourself with the building codes and zoning restrictions set forth by your local municipality. These regulations cover various aspects such as the size, height, design, materials, construction, location, and illumination of the sign within city limits. They are designed to promote a safer and more cohesive city layout while reducing visual clutter.
If you are renting or leasing the property, it is important to consult with the property owner or manager regarding their specific sign programs and requirements. Our team can assist in facilitating communication between you and the city, but ultimately, it is your responsibility to liaise with the landlord or property manager to obtain necessary signatures and relevant documents. We will provide the required paperwork to streamline the process.

We complete and submit a thorough permitting application for various types of custom signs. Our team of experts will assess whether a sign permit, electrical permit, or temporary license is needed during the inspection process.
In most cases, upright, modified, or relocated exterior signs require a sign permit unless they are specifically exempt. For illuminated signs, an additional electrical permit will be required.
We handle sign permits for a variety of business signs, such as free-standing pylon signs, pole or monument signs, awning or building-mounted blades, light box signs, and dimensional letter signage.
If you prefer to handle the application and permit process yourself, we can assist by obtaining the necessary paperwork from the city on your behalf. We will also guide you through filling out all required information for sign permit approval.
Permanent Sign Permits
Permanent commercial sign permits may require a building inspection and review. All building-mounted blade signs, freestanding signs, billboard signs, ground signs, or building signs (fascia signs) must be reviewed by a zoning administrator. Factors such as overall structure, size, colors, materials, and design elements will be evaluated to ensure compliance with municipal law, zoning ordinances, local building codes, and property requirements.
Temporary Sign Permits
For temporary signage needs, such as construction, stadium branding, leasing, sales, rentals, grand openings, and corporate anniversaries, it is important to abide by the rules and regulations established by the property and local municipality. Rest assured, we are here to assist you in ensuring compliance with these requirements.
