An applicant will need to complete a sign permit application for each sign, submit two complete sets of plans and pay a plan review fee at the permit center. You will need to complete a graphic drawing of your proposed sign, drawn to scale, and with enough detail to show compliance with the sign code. If the plans are unclear or do not have enough detail to enable the City to do its review, the plans will be returned to you without a permit. It can take two weeks to review your plans. After all issues are resolved, your project coordinator will let you know that your plans are approved, and the amount of the fees due.
Work can begin when the permit is issued and the permit fees are paid.
You must call for the inspections noted on the permits. The pink card gets posted so that it is visible from the street. Signs require at least one inspection and may require up to three or more inspections. This may vary depending upon the nature of the sign. We have a Sign Construction packet, and copies of the sign code available at the permit center.
