Applying For A Sign Permit

Signs are a great tool to help locate and identify your business. Fascia, projecting, freestanding, canopy, banner, and hanging signs are a few examples of the different type of signs that require a permit in the City. 

Submission and approval of a sign permit is required before placing or altering a sign on the exterior of any building or structure, or on any property in the City. The Sign Regulations Bylaw outlines the size, location, and content of signage within the City to prevent interference with traffic lights and signs, prevent confusion and undue conflict of signage, and permit the proper identification of businesses.

A sign permit application will be reviewed for compliance with the Sign Regulations Bylaw, and, if applicable, any registered development permits. If the application meets all requirements, the sign permit may be issued. Permit fees are applied in accordance with Schedule E of the Sign Regulations Bylaw.
