A sign permit is required for most permanent signs. The number of signs and sign area is limited under the Zoning Code. Most signs need approval from the Town and some signs may require a building permit.

The Planning Commission must consider signs if you have another application that needs Planning Commission review. Otherwise, most sign permit applications can be considered by staff.
