How to Obtain a Digital Sign Permit
You’ve decided to purchase a digital display. Next step – receiving approval from local officials, usually in the form of a sign permit. Sometimes this is an easy process; sometimes governing agencies require more vetting. Daktronics is here to help by offering resources for both customers and regulatory agencies.
Four Steps to Get Your Digital Display Permit
- Determine where your sign will be located, this determines if you will need to follow city or county ordinances.
- Check with your local zoning ordinance to see if signs are allowed at the location.
- Determine what the permitting process is like. For many government agencies, this is as simple as filling out an application. Other locations have brightness, size and movement restrictions.
- The length of time to obtain permits varies for each district. Special permits can require approval by the local governing body, such as a city council or county commission. In those cases, you may want to consider hiring legal counsel.
