Permits and sign codes

The part most sign orders skip, and regret

Every municipality regulates sign size, height, placement and illumination, and most also cap how much of a facade can be covered. Landlords add their own criteria on top in the lease, and historic districts are stricter again, often banning internally lit cabinets outright. We pull the local code and the lease before we draw anything, so the design you approve is the one that gets a permit.

We submit the permit drawings on your behalf - site plan, elevation, electrical load if the sign is illuminated - and track the application through approval. If a municipality requires a variance because what you want exceeds the standard allowance, we tell you that up front, with the realistic timeline and odds, rather than after fabrication has started.

ADA and code-required interior signage is a separate, legally mandated category most people forget until an inspector flags it: raised characters, braille, and mounting height are all specified, not optional. We handle that alongside your exterior signage so one visit covers both.
