The purpose of the Sign Permit is to establish standards for signage that protect public health and safety, advance the aesthetic and community character objectives of the Village; promote compatible business development and activity; and ensure the effective and flexible use of signage for commercial, community, and individual expression. This Village establishes standards for type, appearance, location, dimensions, and illumination appropriate for various zoning districts and uses.

Each sign located, erected, moved, reconstructed, extended, enlarged, converted, or structurally altered shall require a sign permit in advance of such action (unless otherwise exempted under ordinance).

Each initial application for a sign permit shall be filed with the Zoning Administrator prior to installation of a new sign or modification of an existing sign face or sign structure.
