Sign Permit Application (Fillable PDF)
Property owners are required to obtain a sign permit prior to the construction, placement, erection or modification of a sign placed on a building or lot.
The City of Big Lake has a sign ordinance in place to allow for orderly placement, aesthetic design and reasonable language to serve the general welfare of the public. The sign ordinance also helps maintain a quality street facade, eliminating tall, obtrusive and bulky signs while creating safety for traffic and pedestrians.
