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
