How it works
Why this exists
Every US city writes its own sign ordinance, tucked inside hundreds of pages of zoning code, and the limits change with your district — and sometimes whether your sign is lit. Owners routinely size a sign off the wrong number and get a rejected permit, a daily-accruing fine, or a removal order after the sign is already up. Big software skipped this because parsing thousands of city codes by hand never paid off. We read each city's actual ordinance so you can check your sign in seconds, for free, before you commit.
Source URL not obtained. The figures on this page are cross-city ranges and the most common exemption thresholds summarised from the individual city pages; no single ordinance states them, so there is no one document to cite. Each city page carries its own sources, and the ones we could not obtain are named there. We attach no substitute link here, and these summary numbers stay outside the weekly automated check.
