Sign Permitting

Expert Guidance for Stress-Free Sign Permit Approvals

When it comes to exterior signage, great design and craftsmanship aren’t enough — your sign also needs to comply with local municipal codes. Every city and town in Massachusetts and the North Shore region has its own rules regulating the size, placement, lighting, and style of business signs. Navigating these requirements can be frustrating and time-consuming, especially if you’re not familiar with the process.

At Northshore Custom Signs & Graphics, we make sign permitting simple and stress-free. Our team has deep experience working with local municipalities, ensuring your signage is designed, submitted, and approved quickly and correctly.
