custom sign permitting made simple

A sign permit is your city’s stamp of approval that says your sign is safe, compliant, and designed to fit the look and character of the community. Across Northern California, every city has its own rules for size, placement, lighting, and materials—and skipping this step can lead to costly fines or removals.

Permitting ensures your investment is protected. It confirms your sign meets safety and design standards, keeps visibility clear for drivers and pedestrians, and helps maintain the look of the surrounding area.

At the end of the day, a sign permit isn’t just paperwork—it’s peace of mind.

Every city has its own checklist, but most applications require:

• A detailed submittal package showing size, materials, and placement

• Renderings or drawings that illustrate the final design

• Lighting and electrical details if your sign is illuminated

Our team takes care of everything—from preparing drawings and paperwork to submitting the application and coordinating with city staff. We track your permit at every stage, so you don’t have to.

Timelines can range from a few weeks to a few months, depending on the city and the complexity of your sign. Larger or illuminated signs often need additional review from planning or building departments.

Because we know what cities look for, we submit complete, compliant applications right from the start—reducing the chance of delays. We stay in touch with reviewers and keep you informed every step of the way.

Don’t worry—it happens. Maybe the sign is a few inches too tall, or the lighting doesn’t meet a certain standard. We’ll work with the city to identify the issue, make quick adjustments, and get you back on track.
