Sign Surveying and Permitting
Make Sure Your Signage Is Compliant with Local Laws
Did you know that there are laws, codes, and regulations regarding signage? These laws could affect what signs and graphics you can display – and where you can display them. For example, traffic sign regulations on private property open to public travel need to adhere to certain parameters.
If you own a business with a parking lot, it’s important that you have the proper signage and it adheres to codes. At FASTSIGNS, we can make sure your signs are up-to-date and compliant. Our specialists will perform accurate surveys and procure the permits to ensure your signage is in full compliance. We’ll handle all these tedious details so that you can focus on running your business.
The following types of properties must comply with local laws and regulations:
- Hotels
- Apartment complexes
- Hospitals
- Shopping centers
- Restaurants
If a property doesn’t have the appropriate signage and an accident occurs on the premises, the property owner could be held liable. The FASTSIGNS team has experience obtaining the correct permits.
Surveying and Permitting
What is sign surveying and permitting service?
Sign surveying and permitting service includes mapping out the best spot for a sign installation, evaluating local regulations and obtaining essential permits to make sure the installed signage meets all city codes or regulations.
Why do I need a permit for my business sign?
Most cities require permits before installing exterior signs since they can affect public safety and aesthetics. Permitting ensures that your signage follows all municipal rules related to size, location, lighting, etc., preventing legal complications later on.
How long does it take to get a permit for my signage?
The process of obtaining a permit may vary based on your locality's requirements. It could range from few days to several weeks. Our team will work diligently with the local authorities to expedite this process as much as possible.

Yes, FASTSIGNS can print a photo on canvas. A canvas print is one that has an image printed directly onto the smooth or textured canvas. It is often stretched around a frame (called gallery wrapped) and hung on a wall in a hall, conference room or office. Canvas photo prints are lightweight and versatile.
We can also print photos on vinyl, paper, glass, plastic, wood, aluminum and other materials. Material selection is based on how and where you plan to use the photo print, the desired end usage size (to understand how big the printer needs to be and the final product weight if you want to hang it on a wall or move it around), the quality of your photo image (a low resolution photo will look fuzzy the bigger the image it gets), etc.
