Before you file in Cedar Park
Pole and pylon signs are not allowedCedar Park prohibits pole signs and pylon signs everywhere in the city and its ETJ (Sec. 13.05.002). Freestanding business signs must be monument signs.
Monument size depends on the roadMonument sign width and height depend on the road the sign faces: local street or collector, minor arterial, major arterial (RM 1431/Whitestone, Parmer/Ronald Reagan, Hwy 183/Bell, RR 620) or the 183A Tollway (Table 13.03.03.04). Pick the road class for the property.
Planned developmentsProperties zoned PD (planned development) are not a column in Cedar Park's sign tables. The PD ordinance may set sign rules or point to a base district. Ask the city which standards apply.
Master sign programsLarge single-use or multi-tenant developments in GB, PO, HC, LI, HI, H, PS, MU, PA or PD can get a master sign program that changes sign height and area (Sec. 13.04.001; size thresholds are in that section). Ask the landlord or the city whether one applies.
Zoning districts recently amendedOrdinance CO002.26.10.22.E2 (October 22, 2026) amended Cedar Park's zoning district article. The sign tables still use the older district list (including RA, ES and PA). If the property's district is not in the list, ask the city which sign column applies.
Development Reserve (DR) districtThe DR (Development Reserve) district on the zoning map is not a column in the sign tables. Ask the city which standards apply.
Permits: The City of Cedar Park sign permit office.
Not legal advice. The city has the final say. Planned developments, master sign plans and special sign districts can override the general sign code. Check the linked section before you file.
