Permitting Information

Code Enforcement acts as the liaison between businesses and city departments. They enforce the municipal ordinances in accordance to the particular zone where the business is located. They work to educate businesses and the community about all types of permitting, from signs and tents, to banners and grand openings.

Sign permit applications are approved by the Code Enforcement Officers. Once a Sign Permit Application is completed and submitted, then they will deem the legality of the sign and will grant or deny your permit application.
