What kind of permits do I need and what is the cost?
The fees associated with sign permits vary by each municipality and even by each type of sign. This cost can be significantly higher if electrical sign inspection or structural engineering review prove necessary. Each sign will need its own permit, even if a sign will be installed on the same building or property. If the sign or sign structure requires drawings from a licensed architect or licensed structural engineer, then a sign contractor will have to be listed on the application. Also, if the sign or sign structure has electrical work, a licensed electrical contractor must be listed on the application. After all, your signage represents an investment that helps customers find you, recognize you and pay your business a return many times over.
