The sign shop’s permit person — in software.
A sign permit eats a day of someone’s time — or $1,000–$3,500 if you hand it to an expediter. PermitMySign checks the sign against the city’s actual code with citations, builds the ready-to-submit package, tracks the review, and drafts the answers when the city asks for changes.
The instant check runs right here — free, nothing to sign up for. The full permit package needs an account so your work is saved: email sign-in only, every feature free for 14 days, then pick a plan.
How it works
Tell us about the sign
The job address and the rough specs — type, size, lighting. We figure out which city or county actually reviews it, which is not always the one on the mailing address.
Get the cited code check + fees
Pass, doesn't pass, or needs human review — every verdict shows the reviewer's math and quotes the exact line of the code. Plus the fee and how long review typically takes in that city.
Submit a complete package and track it
A ready-to-submit package behind a hard completeness gate, step-by-step submission instructions, and tracking through review — with the answers drafted when the city asks for changes.

These aren’t screenshots. The cards below are generated as this page loads, by the same engine you’d use, from a bundled sample job — an 18 ft lit channel-letter sign in Orlando.
Sign size vs. storefront length
Your 45 sq ft sign is under the 57 sq ft allowed for your 38 ft storefront — 1.5 sq ft per foot of frontage.

Engineer-stamped drawings
Florida requires structural sign drawings signed and sealed by a Florida-registered architect or engineer, designed to Florida Building Code wind loads. We track this as a to-do — software can't stamp drawings.
What to do: Send the drawings to your engineer for stamping — we've added the stamped set to your document checklist as a to-do.

What you get
Every one of these runs live on the demo page — the checklist, the correction matrix, the drawings — so you can judge the output, not the adjectives.
Cited code checks
Every verdict quotes the exact line of the code it's based on, one click away. When the code is ambiguous, we say “needs human review” and hand you the citation — never a confident guess.
Ready-to-submit packages
Filled application data, a compliance summary, and every required document in a named slot — behind a completeness gate, so nothing leaves the shop half-done.
Site plan + elevation drawings
Generated from the measurements you already entered — a dimensioned site plan and elevation drawing, ready to drop straight into the package.
Status tracking that watches the portal
See exactly where each permit sits and how long is typical for that city. When the city goes quiet past its usual window, we draft the nudge for you.
Correction letters answered 1:1
When the city asks for changes, paste the letter in. You get a comment-by-comment response matrix — every item answered in order, nothing missed.
The paper trail
Everything in writing: every check, every citation, every customer update and city email — exportable whenever a customer or a plan reviewer asks.

What we don’t pretend to do
PermitMySign can’t notarize your letters, stamp your engineering, or guarantee the city says yes. Those become tracked to-dos with honest labels and emailable templates — not fine print. And when a city’s code is ambiguous, you see “needs human review” with the citation, not a guess. Trust is the product.
