Signs & Awnings Permits — San Francisco

SF Signs and Awnings Permit

Wall signs, projecting signs, awnings and banners — the sign permit, drawings and city review handled so the sign goes up legal the first time.

What this covers

  • Wall signs and projecting (blade) signs
  • Monument and storefront signs
  • Awnings — projection and clearance documented
  • Temporary banners, filed as their own short-term permit

How it works

  1. Talk to Tony — tell him the address and the scope. Two minutes, from the job site.
  2. We prepare and file the application through PermitSF, the city's portal.
  3. City fees pass through at cost — you see them before anything is filed.
  4. When the permit issues, we line up the inspection — the sequencing is on us to track, not you.

Good to know in San Francisco

  • An illuminated sign adds an electrical component — usually a companion electrical permit. We flag the pair so the sign is not hung waiting on paperwork.
  • Awning filings turn on two numbers: projection out from the building face, and clearance height over the sidewalk. We state both up front.
  • Historic and special sign districts can add a review step. We check the address before promising a timeline.

Who uses this

Sign shops and awning companies, electrical sign contractors, and business owners opening or rebranding a storefront.

PermitsPros — we file permits. We never promise approvals — that's the city's call, and we tell you so up front. City fees are separate and paid by you directly to the city.
