Sign Permit Requirements
The Mayor and Council find that signs provide an important medium through which individuals may convey a variety of messages. To avoid the potential of negative impacts of signage on public safety, public welfare, and property values, the City regulates location, size, placement, and certain features of signs. These regulations are intended to enable the public to identify businesses and locate goods and services in the City without difficulty or confusion in a manner, which improves the general attractiveness of the community and protect property values.
