Legal Considerations Permits: As signs must meet zoning requirements, most cities require permits for permanent installation of an onpremise sign. Many zoning codes restrict size, height, setback and other locational factors.
Full service sign companies and installers are experienced in obtaining necessary permits for construction and installation of the sign structure. These companies can provide engineering specifications required by regulatory entities. These services should be included in the company’s bid.
Variances: Sometimes a zoning code restricts the type of signage for a given area. For your business to have a sign that satisfies visibility and readability requirements of the location, you may need to apply for a variance to the existing zoning code and regulation. If a business owner can prove the need for a modification of the regulations and hardship if die modifications are not obtained, the local planning agency can grant a variance.
Sign companies are experienced in the variance application process.
Insurance: A properly designed, permitted and constructed sign will reduce your potential liability insurance problems.
