Prepare a site-specific request
Send the street address, business name, sign purpose, artwork and site photographs. Identify the mounting surface, any existing sign and whether lighting is requested. TFA can then discuss survey, design, fabrication and installation responsibilities without assuming that another city's approval applies.
Request a sign proposal or compare custom sign options.
