I hear a LOT of opinions about city regulations and permitting laws for signage. I get ear-fuls from city officials, from business owners, from landlords, and from other sign companies!
The opinions range from outrage that a city would have the ability to restrict signage to outrage that business owners can ruin the cityscape with visual sign "garbage."
Whatever your opinion, if you are starting a business, moving a business, or buying a property, KNOW YOUR SIGN REGULATIONS in advance!!
I've had business owner clients almost brought to tears when they discover during our sign permit process they have just signed up for a 15 year mortgage on a business property where they can't put up an appropriate sign to promote their business.
So what to remember?
CHECK WITH YOUR MUNICIPALITY REGULATIONS BEFORE YOU:
- Create your buisness plan with budget
- Sign a lease
- Buy a property
Where to begin? Start with the website your local city probably has, and call zoning or planning -- they can direct you to reference materials or may even have time to walk you through your particular address information!
You might be saving yourself a lot of expense and headache in the long run!
Your local Sign-A-Rama can help you as well, as we are familiar with permit regulations in our neighborhoods and surroudning community!
