Sign Permit Services in NYC
For an advertising sign like a billboard, zoning laws must be consulted first. Usually, you need a PW2 permit. The laws are different across every district, though. In some, they’re not even allowed. If you were to accidentally violate one of these laws, you’d most likely have to pay a fine of at least $5,000 for each infringement.
Any storefront sign that’s more than six square feet must first be approved by NYC’s Department of Business. Then, before it can be installed, a sign permit (by NYC licensed sign hanger) must be issued. In some districts, even signs smaller than six feet require a permit prior to installation. Lighted signs also require additional permits, whether they’re an advertising or storefront version.
The entire processes involved in receiving a permit for any of these signs can be a bit complicated. That is why many people seek out professional help from Metro Sign Services – an expert in recognizing and understanding sign permit and sign installation needs.
