====== Sign Permit Process ======

Governed by **Chapter 34, Article XI (Signs)**, §§ 34-1040 et seq. All permanent exterior signs require a Sign Permit from NDS. Signs in Historic Overlay Districts also require BAR review. Regulations cover maximum size, illumination, placement, and number of signs by zoning district.
