How do I know if I need a variance?

A variance may be necessary because of the size, location or height of the sign. In order to determine whether you need a variance, please submit the following information to the Zoning Administrator for a preliminary review: the address where you would like to install the sign:

  • Length of the front wall of your building
  • Proposed height of the sign
  • Proposed location of the sign including the setback from the right of way for free standing signs
  • Proposed size of the sign (in square feet)
