You’ve got the vision, the brand, and the perfect location. Now, you’re ready to make a statement with the perfect sign. But before that sign goes up, there’s one key step to ensure everything goes smoothly—sign permitting.

If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by the thought of dealing with city codes, regulations, and paperwork, you’re not alone. At Mello Signs, we make the process easy by handling every step in-house, from concept to completion—including permitting.

Why Sign Permitting Matters

A sign isn’t just an advertisement—it’s an investment. And like any investment, it needs to be done right. Every city has specific rules about what type of signage is allowed, where it can be placed, and how big it can be. Without the proper permit, your sign could face costly fines, forced removal, or delays that disrupt your operations. A well-placed, properly permitted sign complies with regulations and sets your business up for long-term success.

Mello Signs is here to make sure you get it right the first time so you can focus on what matters—growing your business.

The Complex World of Sign Permits

The permitting process varies depending on your location, the type of sign, and the property you’re on. Here’s what you’re up against:

• Zoning Laws: Cities have different zoning regulations that dictate the size, height, and illumination of your sign.
• Landlord & HOA Approvals: If your business is in a shopping center or managed property, you may need additional approvals before city permits.
• Application Process: This typically includes submitting detailed sign drawings, structural calculations, and site plans.
• Inspections & Compliance: After installation, an inspection may be required to ensure your sign meets safety and structural requirements.
