Sign Permit Layouts

Design

Every City has different rules and ordinances for signage but they all need some of the same basic information.

  1. Pic of the proposed sign imposed on a picture of the actual location, be it on the building or if we are erecting a pole or other structure. These will be the same layouts that we have already sent to the customer, except with the addition of measurements.

Use the dimension tool in CorelDraw to add measurements to the following

  • overall height and width of sign.
  • overall height from the ground
  • Height of the tallest letters

2. Sky View of property notating location of proposed sign.

  • Using Google Maps, put in the physical address of the business or property the sign will be installed.
  • Take a screen shot and crop or snip the image, being sure to include the street closest to the location, and the closest side street if possible. (Street Names are circled on example for emphasis, not needed on final image)
  • Draw a red rectangle and type in the words “Proposed Sign Location”, draw an arrow from the rectangle to the approx installation location of the proposed sign.
  • If you have the information for distance from the street, also include that. If you do not have that info, but need it, you can use google maps to get any measurement you need. Simply right click the location you want to start your measurement (Example: the front of the building) and select “Measure Distance”. Then right click the location you want to end the measurement (Example: the edge of the street) and select “Distance to Here”. Then a measurement will appear, giving you the info you need. Be sure to screen shot this to save and include. You can repeat this for any measurement you need, street frontage of property, distance of sign from road, etc.

3. Be sure to make measurements easy to read. Generally red letters stand out, but if needed simply draw a white box behind the measurements so they can be easily readable and they don’t delay our permit approval because the city couldn’t read them.
