Sign Permits

The purpose of the sign ordinance is to provide requirements for the installation, fabrication, erection, and use of signs, as defined in Section 17.1.14. These sign regulations are intended to promote the public welfare, health, and safety of all persons using public rights-of-way; to aid in the proper promotion of business and industry; to reduce the visual clutter that may be caused by signage that impairs traffic safety and rural community character; and to implement recommendations of the Lincoln County comprehensive plan. Traffic control and other public agency signs located within a public street right-of-way or public road easement are not regulated by this division. 

All new and altered signs described in the zoning ordinance shall be authorized only through the issuance of a Sign Permit under the provisions in Section 17.8.50.  Please follow the link below to access the permit application.
