Template: application for sign permit from municipality

The information the municipality typically needs to process a sign case

Use the template to gather information before you or your customer contact the municipality about a new facade sign, pylon or other sign structure. It saves time in case processing and reduces the risk of the application being returned with questions.

§1. Property information

  • 01Address and plot number
  • 02Is the property covered by a local plan or sign ordinance? (checked with the municipality)
  • 03Is the building protected or worth preserving?

§2. Information about the sign

§3. Always attach

  • 01Photo of the facade as it looks today
  • 02Sketch or visualization of the desired sign on the facade
  • 03Dimensions and possible construction description if the sign is heavy or large

Send the complete information to the municipality's building department and note the case number and date of submission. If further information is requested it is often fastest to reply with the missing items from this template all at once rather than sending individual information continuously.
