Protect Your Property from Sign-Related Liability
Common Liability Scenarios:
- Inadequate parking lot signage leading to accidents or injuries
- Missing ADA-compliant directional signs creating accessibility barriers
- Improperly secured signs causing property damage or personal injury during storms
- Non-compliant traffic control signs on private property open to public use
- Fire safety violations from blocked egress or inadequate emergency signage
The Legal Standard: If your property lacks appropriate signage mandated by local codes and an accident occurs, you could be held liable for negligence. Courts have consistently ruled that property owners have a duty to maintain compliant safety and directional signage.
Our Permitting Service Protects You By:
- Ensuring all required safety signage is identified and installed
- Documenting regulatory compliance for liability defense
- Meeting structural safety standards to prevent sign failures
- Verifying ADA accessibility throughout your property
Frequently Asked Questions
-
Do I really need a permit for my business sign?Most localities require a permit for exterior business signage. Requirements change with respect to jurisdiction, type of sign, size, location, and lighted sign. Even "temporary" signs often require permits. We verify specific requirements for your exact location.
-
How long does the permit process take?All application permits take 2-12 weeks to process depending on the municipality and project. Projects that need variance typically take longer if they are in historic district or special zoning area. We give realistic timelines according to your specific case.
-
What happens if I install a sign without a permit?Consequences can include stop-work orders, removal requirements, fines (often daily until corrected), inability to obtain future permits, and legal liability if the sign causes injury. Retroactively obtaining permits is usually more expensive and difficult than doing it correctly initially.
-
Can you help with an existing sign that's in violation?Yes. We assist with compliance corrections for existing signage, including obtaining retroactive permits when possible, modifying signs to meet current codes, or navigating variance procedures when conforming modifications aren't feasible.
-
What if my property is in a historic district?Historic districts have additional design review requirements beyond standard sign codes. We have extensive experience with historic preservation commissions and architectural review boards, understanding how to design compliant signage that respects historical character while meeting your business needs.
-
Do electrical signs require special permits?Yes. Illuminated signs typically require electrical permits in addition to sign permits. We coordinate with licensed electricians and ensure all electrical work meets National Electrical Code and local amendments.
-
What is a sign variance, and when do I need one?A variance is an allowance to depart from standard sign code requirements. If your signage is not compliant with size, height, setback and other regulations, a variance may be required. The variance process consists of application, public hearing, and approval of zoning board or city council.
