In many cases, there may be existing signage when leasing space for your business. For example, many shopping centers have cabinet signs for the tenants above every storefront so the sign face can be changed out easily whenever information needs to be updated, or when a tenant moves out or in. This reduces the need to patch and paint the building wall every time a sign is removed, but more importantly, you do not need to pull a permit every time a new sign panel is put in because permits are only required when you are installing a new sign or modifying an existing sign.
Sometimes, you may move into a space that already has an existing monument sign which can be beneficial because it can be difficult to get a permit pulled for a monument sign depending on what city your business is located in. Most of the time, monument signs have faces or panels that can be changed out which also does not require a permit.
Our client, Geller Dentistry, had moved into a space with an existing hanging sign. Although this sign may not be as large and expensive as a typical monument sign, a permit is required when installing a sign like this in the front of your business. Luckily for our client, replacing the panel did not require a permit and we were able to create a beautiful sign for them that can be seen easily from the street.
