FAQs About Sign Permitting Services
Do I Need A Business Sign Permit In San Diego?
Yes, in San Diego City, a change in a sign on a private property or a new sign is typically a requirement for a sign permit. Both upgrades and installations fall into this. But a handful of signs, such as accessory warning signs under 12 sq. ft. and non-lit real estate signs, are not. For clarification on which signs need permits, the San Diego Development Services Department and our team at Peak to Shore can help.
What Is The Process In San Diego City To Obtain A Sign Permit?
1. Application Submission: Applications for sign permits are made through the city permitting system. All the required information and documentation is provided to avoid unnecessary delays. 2. Plan Review: The submitted plans are reviewed for San Diego Municipal Code compliance in the areas of location, design, and size. 3. Inspections: Post-approval, these may be required during and after installation to ensure adherence to approved plans and safety standards.
Are There Specific Rules About How And Where Signs Can be Installed In San Diego?
The San Diego Municipal Code outlines in detail where signs can be installed, how large they can be, what type they can be, and other requirements. These requirements are based on zoning and location. Residential on-premise “For Sale” signs, for example, can be only 4 square feet in space and no greater than 6 feet in height. Each sign type will be different and our team at Peak to Shore is knowledgeable about local regulations to make sure you have no issues.
What About Sign Permits In San Diego County’s Unincorporated Areas?
In unincorporated land, San Diego County Planning & Development Services oversees permitting signs. The regulations may be different than what is within a municipal boundary, so we will consult with the department and follow the county’s specific rules to know exactly what codes apply to the sign you want to install.
