Sign Base: Stone

Almost certainly, yes. Most local governments (townships, cities and counties) have jurisdiction to regulate zoning and building codes. There are often sections within their land use code that are specific to signage. Some jurisdictions are particular about the allowable sizes, and even design and materials.
The first step in any monument sign project is proper code research. First, find out the actual jurisdiction your property is in. This may be different than the city or town listed on your post office mail. Next, do an internet search of the jurisdiction along with the work “municode.” For example, if your sign is in Elmarkville, you can google “Elmarkville Municode,” which should lead you to a searchable version of their various codes. Type the work “signage” into the search function and you should be taken to the relevant sections, which speak to signage requirements, including allowable square feet, regulations for electric signs, and other info such as permit fees.
Yes, we sure can! Permit fess are generally $500-$750, but can be higher if more work is required – such as attending a board of adjustment, or zoning board hearing.
