Sign Regulations

Rowder's Department of Planning and Development Services (DPDS) oversees the enforcement of city regulations relating to commercial uses of signs. Its staff is committed to providing a favorable atmosphere for businesses while also maintaining a pleasant living space for citizens.

The city's comprehensive sign ordinances are listed here, but for your convenience, information on the most common types of temporary commercial signs is provided below in a simplified form.

Grand opening signs: With the approval of the DPDS, a new business can display signs advertising its opening for up to 30 days. This is the only circumstance in which free-standing outdoor signs are permitted
 

Holiday promotional signs: Businesses do not need the DPDS's approval to display promotional signs related to Christmas or New Years for up to 15 days, and signs related to six other specified holidays for up to 5 days.

Other large promotional banners: The DPDS's approval is required for all other promotional banners over 20 square feet in surface area. These banners may be displayed for up to 14 days at a time, three times per year.

Subject: Response to Your Application

Date: May 8

Dear Ms. Brock,

I regret to inform you that the Department of Planning and Development Services (DPDS) cannot approve your recent application for a temporary commercial sign permit. The city's appearance standards for the downtown business district do not allow the use of bright colors in signs (Rowder Municipal Code 9.34.130). Please resubmit your application with a design that addresses this issue.

Should you have any questions about this decision, you may call me at 555-0186.

Sincerely, 

Raymond Morgan Associate Director

Department of Planning and Development Services
