2 · The cited code check
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.
See the exact line of the code
“Wall signs shall not exceed 1.5 square feet per linear foot of frontage.”Orlando City Code Ch. 64 — wall sign area allowance (Sec. 64.245(b))
Sign height
Ground-sign height limits in Orlando vary by district under Chapter 64. We flag this for a human check against the code rather than guessing a number.
What to do: Open the code section and check the height limit for your district — or send it to us and we'll verify it for the pack.

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.

3 · The document checklist
Computed from Orlando’s own submission requirements for this job. The two drawing slots are filled by the generated sheets below; the notarized items stay honest human to-dos.
- On hand — generated
Site plan (legal description, sign location with setbacks, all existing signs with dimensions)
Orlando's checklist wants the property description, the proposed sign location with setbacks from property lines, building locations and dimensions, and every existing sign that will remain — with dimensions.
- On hand — generated
Construction & elevation drawings (front and side views)
The city wants front and side views with dimensions, materials, and the illumination source shown.
- Still needed
Fastener detail (number, size, spacing)
Wall signs need the fastener details — how many, what size, how far apart.
- Doesn't apply
Foundation details + views from all sides
Ground signs need views from all sides plus foundation details.
- Still needed — human to-do
Engineer-stamped wind-load drawings (125-mph FBC)
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.
- Still needed
Testing-lab listing (manufacturer name + listing number)
Every electrical sign must be listed by an authorized testing lab per NEC 600.3/600.4 — the city wants the manufacturer name and listing number.
- Still needed
Separate electrical permit application
Lit signs in Orlando need a second, linked electrical permit — we prepare it alongside the sign permit.
- Doesn't apply
Owner/management letter allocating sign area (multi-tenant sites)
On multi-tenant properties, Orlando wants a letter from the owner or manager allocating square footage and listing every existing tenant sign's area.
- Still needed — human to-do
Property owner's notarized signature on the application
Orlando's application needs the property owner's signature, notarized. Software can't notarize — we route it as a to-do with an emailable template.
- Still needed — human to-do
Recorded Notice of Commencement
Florida requires a recorded Notice of Commencement when the job contract is $2,500 or more. Your job value of $9,800 is at or over the $2,500 trigger.
4 · How to submit in Orlando

5 · The generated drawing sheets
Both sheets below are drawn to scale from the measurements in the job, live on this page — a dimensioned site plan (SP-1) and the sign elevation (A-1).
Generated by PermitMySign from your job details — review before submitting; not a substitute for engineer-sealed drawings where required.
