Signage requires review from the Planning Department and permits from Building and Safety Department.
Obtaining Sign Approval
- Hire a licensed contractor to design, install, and permit your signage. Drawings should be to scale and drawn in accordance with the development code or sign program criteria and requirements.
- Bring 3 color copies to City Hall to have a planner review and approve your signage proposal.
- Approval is typically done over the counter for the Planning Department. Planning does not collect a fee to approve signage over the counter.
- Once planning approves your sign you will need to obtain a building permit. Building permit fees are due at permit issuance.
