Here are a few things to remember when considering having a sign, banner or yard sign created for your business in the South Windsor CT area.
Zoning for Permanently Mounted Signs

For many permanently mounted signs you will need to purchase permits that will need licensed contractors and inspectors to sign off on the build to stay within the law. Make sure you budget for these as part of your signage costs.
NOTE: G-Force Signs and Graphics does its best to stay up with the signage guidelines for the South Windsor CT area; however, we’re not lawyers. Ultimately your business is going to be held responsible for the end result of fines and demands of the zoning authority; so a little homework can go a long way toward saving money.
Temporary Signs

It can even get more specific as to where within the South Windsor CT area those temporary signs are displayed and when.

The Landlord

Additional Considerations
Some additional considerations you should look into when choosing permanent and/or temporary signs in the South Windsor CT area are:
• Electrical Needs – Is your sign going to be illuminated or have a spotlight on it? If so, you will need to make sure there is an accessible power source; as well as additional permits might be needed.
• Blueprints – Most zoning agencies require blueprints to be submitted with the full layouts and needs for the process. Be advised that this governmental regulation can add thousands to a sign project.
• Aesthetics – Make sure that the signage for your business matches the theme of the area. If the plaza and surroundings are made of brick or have colonial styling (for example); try to keep your sign along those same values.
Has zoning cited or sent an order of removal?
Dealing with a zoning agency that has cited or refused to allow you to install a permanent or temporary sign? It may not be the last word on it. Many zoning policies have a process to dispute their refusal or will provide an exception with proper documentation and cause. Because most zoning officials in South Windsor CT are business owners themselves; often you can request a hearing to provide the information. Larger cities; however, that are strapped in bureaucracy; may take a long, long time
