Sign Permits

The purpose of requiring issuance of a sign permit is to maintain conformance with Town’s adopted Sign Ordinance (Section 32-98) and to assure attractive and architecturally compatible signing throughout Danville’s commercial areas.

Sign permits are required for all new business signs within the Town. Sign permits may be approved by the Planning Director where no other application is required in conjunction with sign permit review, such as a variance, land use permit, or development plan application.
