Permits and Regulations for Signage in Arizona

Eye-catching signage is crucial for Arizonabusinesses, but before your dazzling design hits the streets, ensure you navigate the permit and regulation landscape. At Signdealz, we understand the complexities of getting your sign legally displayed, so let's simplify the process:

1. State vs. Local

Arizona has statewide regulations for off-premise signs, but on-premise signs fall under individual city or town ordinances.

• Off-premise sign codes: Contact the Arizona Department of Transportation(ADOT) for permits and size limitations. Remember, on-premise signs advertising your own business are exempt from ADOT regulations.

• On-premise sign codes: Check with your local municipality's planning and development department. Each city/town has its own zoning codes dictating sign size, placement, design, and permitting requirements.

2. Know Your Sign Type

Different signage categories have specific sign requirements and rules.

• Wall signs: Mounted directly on a building.

• Projecting signs: Extend outward from a building.

• Window signs: Attached to or displayed within windows.

• Freestanding signs: Stand alone on the ground.

• Temporary signs: Used for short-term promotions or events.

3. Permit Pointers

• Application fees: Expect fees associated with permit applications, often varying by sign type and size.

• Design review: Some municipalities require design approval before issuing permits.

• Inspections: Prepare for inspections to ensure your sign complies with regulations.

• Renewal: Remember, permits often expire and require renewal.
