Before you file in Coppell

Planned developmentsMany Coppell properties are zoned PD (planned development). The sign code treats a PD with a business base district as a business district, but each PD ordinance can set its own sign conditions. If the property is a PD, check its ordinance with the city.
Sign permit feeThe code says sign permit fees are set by City Council resolution. The fees shown come from the city's 2023 attached sign and banner handouts. No published fee was found for monument, pylon or window signs; ask Building Inspections. Source
Near residential districtsSigns near a non-business district boundary must follow the stricter non-business district rules (Sec. 12-29-4.1).
Special use permitsA special use permit (SUP) ordinance can add conditions for a property. Ask the city whether one applies.
