What are Sign Applications & Permits?
Sign applications & permits are the official approvals required from local municipalities or county agencies before you can install or modify your signage. At Akers Signs, we guide you through every step—identifying which permits you need, preparing the paperwork, and submitting to the right authorities so your project stays fully compliant.
Uses for Applications & Permits
Local jurisdictions in Northeast Ohio—whether Canton, Akron, Massillon, or Cleveland—each have their own sign codes and zoning rules. Proper permitting ensures you:
Avoid costly fines or forced removals
Meet setback, height, and size requirements
Adhere to electrical and lighting ordinances
Stay in good standing with building and planning departments
Types of Applications & Permits
Different projects trigger different requirements. Common permit types include:
Freestanding & Monument Signs: Often require site‑plan review and engineering approval.
Building‑Mounted & Channel Letters: May need façade permits and electrical sign permits.
Pole & Pylon Signs: Typically involve structural calculations and right‑of‑way clearances.
Digital & LED Displays: Subject to light‑emission limits and electronic message regulations.
Temporary Banners & Event Signs: Usually covered by short‑term or special‑event permits.
