What the free scan checks
We pull the public record for your parcel and read the sign code that actually governs it — the district your location sits in, not the one the prototype assumed.
-
The parcel's zoning districtThe district on record for your exact address — the starting point every sign allowance flows from.
-
Sign-code allowances for that districtMaximum sign area by frontage, height limits, monument/pylon vs. wall-sign rules, and illumination limits.
-
Existing sign permits & violationsSign permits already on record for the location, and any open sign violations that could block a new permit.
-
Landlord / center sign criteriaWhere the shopping center or landlord publishes sign criteria, we check the package against those too — a sign can pass the city and still fail the lease.
What you get back: a verdict for every sign in the package
Each element of the standard rebrand package gets one of four calls, based on the code and the record for your location.
- Primary wall signChannel letters / cabinet on the storefront Allowed
- Monument / pylon panelFreestanding sign or panel change in the existing structure Needs variance
- Drive-thru menu boardsNew or replacement boards, speakers, and canopies Prohibited
- Window & directional signsWindow graphics, entrance and drive-thru directionals To confirm
The verdicts above show the format of the report — yours are read from your location's code and records. TO CONFIRM means it can't be settled from public records, and we say so instead of guessing.
Who this is for
Franchisees & multi-unit operators
You're under a franchisor remodel-or-rebrand mandate with a deadline and a sign package you didn't design. Before you commit to fabrication, you need to know which signs your city will actually permit — and how long a variance will take if one stands in the way of your deadline.
Sign companies
Your permit gets denied mid-job and the schedule — and the customer relationship — blows up with it. A scan before you quote or fabricate tells you which elements will sail through, which need a variance path, and which shouldn't be promised at all.

When the free scan says "it depends"
The free scan reads the standard package against the code. The full audit reads your actual proposed sign package — your drawings, your dimensions, your site — and maps exactly how it gets permitted.
