Sign Permitting & Compliance

Permits are the part nobody enjoys — so we handle them. We prepare the drawings, navigate your city’s sign code, and pull the permit, so your project stays legal and on schedule.

Common questions

Does my sign need a permit?
Most new exterior signs require a city permit, and permitting can take 3–6 weeks. We handle the drawings and forms and don’t begin fabrication until the permit is secured.
Who pulls the permit?
We do — we prepare the submittal, navigate your city’s sign code, and obtain the permit on your behalf.
How long does permitting take?
Typically 3–6 weeks depending on the municipality and sign type. We factor this into your project timeline up front.
Is the permit fee included?
Yes — permitting costs are included in your initial estimate, so there are no surprises.
What if my sign isn’t compliant?
We design to your city’s setback, height, and size rules from the start, so your sign is compliant before it’s built.
