Before you file in Flower Mound

Planned developmentsMany Flower Mound shopping centers are zoned Planned Development (PD), and a PD ordinance can set its own sign standards. If the property is in a PD (for example in Lakeside DFW / Lakeside Business District, Canyon Falls or the Long Prairie Road specific plans), check its ordinance with the town. Source
Comprehensive sign packageNonresidential developments can get a comprehensive sign package approved by Town Council that changes the number, size, height, location and lighting of signs (Sec. 86-44). Ask the town whether the center already has one.
Code versionRules are from Chapter 86 as published on Municode (supplement of October 2025, last sign amendment July 2024). Sign amendments adopted after that supplement were not checked.
FeesSign fees come from the town's Building Inspections Fee Schedule (effective October 1, 2026). The sign chapter points to appendix A of the Code, which was not checked. An electrical permit is separate.
