Home MenuSign Permitting
Sign ordinances help to preserve the appearance and character of the community while safeguarding health, property and the public welfare.
These regulations are necessary to promote driving safety, encourage orderly and effective display of advertising, maximize advertising potential for local businesses, and maintain visually attractive roads and streetscapes.
The City recognizes that signs are a legitimate use of private property, however the intent of such regulation is to protect property values by enhancing the image of the community and preserving the natural environment for all to enjoy.
Most signs for advertising require permitting and must be located on premises of the business, event or venue. Before purchasing signage—and especially before placing signage on a property—we encourage you to take these three steps:
- First, please read our Sign Ordinance
- Complete a Sign Permit Application
- Submit your completed Permit Application to the Brittani McClendon, Planning Specialist
