Do I need a permit to place an advertising sign on a commercial lot?
Most signs, like buildings, are considered to be structures and do require a permit and an inspection from the Building Inspections Division. There are exceptions to permitting requirements for some smaller signs such as real estate signs (see the Sign Ordinance for details). Sign placement on a particular lot depends on the size of the sign and the number of existing signs on the lot. Contact the Planning Division or the Building Inspections Division for more information on sign placement and permitting.
