Sign Permitting Services

Why do I need a sign permit?

Douglas County has specific regulations in place to ensure that signs are safe, structurally sound, and aesthetically in line with the community’s standards. Acquiring a permit ensures that your sign adheres to these guidelines, avoiding potential legal and safety complications. Without a proper permit, you might face fines or be required to modify or remove your sign. Installing a sign without the required permit can lead to multiple complications, including fines, sign removal, and legal complications. To avoid these challenges, it’s always best to ensure your sign has the necessary permits before installation.

How long does the permitting process take?

The timeframe for acquiring a sign permit in Douglas County can vary based on the type of sign and its location. Typically, once all the required documentation is submitted, it can take anywhere from a few days to a few weeks for the permit to be granted. Our team always aims to expedite the process as much as possible by ensuring all submissions are accurate and complete.

What types of signs typically require permits?

While specific requirements can vary by jurisdiction, permits are commonly needed for externally illuminated signs, larger in size, or installed in particular zones or areas. This can include monument signs, pylon signs, and illuminated storefront signs. However, temporary or smaller, non-illuminated signs may not need a permit. We always recommend checking with local regulations or consulting our experts to understand the requirements for your specific sign.
