Navigating the intricacies of sign permitting is exhausting. North Coast Signs fully understands the challenges and nuances involved in getting approvals for your sign projects, whether you have a new storefront sign or are updating outdoor advertising. Our expert team will help to make sure your project moves along smoothly and hassle-free.
What is sign permitting, and why might it be required?
Sign permitting is the process of getting permission from the local governing authorities to either erect a new sign or bring about changes to already existing signs. It confirms that all signs are in accordance with zoning laws, safety provisions, and aesthetic standards of the concerned municipality. These permits are necessary for protecting public safety and avoiding legal disputes that may arise due to non-compliance. The procedure can be facilitated by making sure that North Coast Signs guides and supports clients in securing the necessary permits efficiently.

We straighten out all the paperwork and deal with the appropriate authorities for you. This makes our role in making the process of permitting as smooth and hassle-free as can be so you can deal with your business while we take care of compliance.
What is needed to apply for a sign permit?
A sign permit application includes quite a lot of information: a detailed description of the new sign, including dimensions, colors, materials, and illumination; architectural drawings showing the proposed design and location on your property; and consent from the property owner. North Coast Signs does all this for you so that it’s by the book, specifically, your planning department’s, to get this through approval smoothly.
How long does it take to obtain a sign permit?
The time it takes to get a permit for signs can vary drastically from one area to another, depending on the complexity of the sign and local requirements. This will normally range from weeks to months. North Coast Signs is highly experienced in working with these timelines and can give you an estimated timeline based on your project and location. We also offer expedited services if you’re working on a very tight timeline.
What if my sign permit application is refused?
In the event of a permitting authority denying approval of a sign permit application, North Coast Signs reviews and interprets the permitting authority’s comments for denial. We will work closely with you to either modify the design or respond to the permitting authority’s concerns. Our staff is experienced in negotiating with local regulatory agencies, recalibrating plans, and resubmitting applications on your behalf with the best possible opportunity for approval on the second pass.
