Sign Permitting

Why is a sign permit necessary?

A sign permit, especially in regions like San Diego County with its specific zoning laws and aesthetic standards, ensures that all signs installed comply with the stipulated local regulations and zoning codes. These meticulously curated regulations aim to maintain the unique aesthetic appeal of the community and ensure public safety. They also safeguard against potential environmental and navigational hazards. Acquiring a permit, particularly crucial in areas with strict guidelines like San Diego County, ensures your sign is legally approved. This proactive step helps avoid pitfalls like hefty fines, legal entanglements, or the costly and time-consuming task of modifying or dismantling an already installed sign.

How does the permitting process work?

The permitting process involves several steps. Initially, a detailed sign plan, including specifications like size, location, design, and materials, is submitted to the local governing body. They review this plan against their regulations and zoning codes. A permit is granted after thoroughly reviewing everything that aligns with the local standards. At True Impact Signs, we handle this process end-to-end, from drawing up compliant plans to submitting them and liaising with the relevant authorities, ensuring a smooth approval process.

How long does it typically take to get a sign permit?

The duration to obtain a sign permit can vary based on the locality, the sign’s complexity, and the application’s completeness. On average, it might take anywhere from a few days to several weeks. It’s essential to factor in this time when planning sign installations. With True Impact Signs managing the process, we leverage our experience and established relationships to expedite the permitting process as much as possible.

What if my sign plan gets rejected?

Rejections can occur if the submitted sign plan doesn’t align with local regulations or if the application lacks a missing element. In such cases, the authority usually provides feedback or reasons for rejection. With this feedback, necessary modifications can be made to the plan. True Impact Signs assists in making these adjustments efficiently, ensuring that a revised, compliant application is promptly resubmitted, maximizing the chances of approval.
