2 Permit Application Guide Sign, Canopy & Awning Permit Guide: This guide was developed to help direct you through the permit application process. Following the steps below will help to expedite the issuance of your building permit. 1. Completely fill out the Attached Building Permit Application. Provide a detailed description of all proposed work. Include the UL numbers for all illuminated signs. 2. Provide 2 Site Plans if required. The plans shall be drawn at 1 inch = 20 ft. or larger scale and shall include the following: All streets, North arrow and graphic scale. Exterior boundaries of the property including dimensions of property lines. Dimensions of setbacks from property lines and between structures. Location and dimensions of existing and proposed signage. If you do not have a scaled site plan you may purchase one from the City Planning Services Division, Room 204, Monday through Friday, 8:00am-4:30pm for a nominal fee. 3. Provide Sign Drawings. Please refer to page 5 and 6 of this packet to review the required information needed when submitting for a sign, canopy or awning permit. If you have specific zoning questions please contact the Planning Services Division at Permit Fees Submit the applicable Permit Fees. Permit fees are based upon the fair market value of the project. This value is to be provided on the building permit application and is required to include both material and labor values even if no labor is being charged for your project. Typically if you do not have a labor value the general rule of thumb is to double the material value for the job. The fair market value is required to provide uniformity in applying Permit Fees to both citizens that hire a contractor and citizens who do their own construction.
