Before you file in Fulshear
Commercial zoning (CD) on the mapThe city's zoning map shows all commercial land as "CD". The sign tables have separate columns for Suburban Commercial (SC), General Commercial (GC) and Suburban Office (SO), and the limits differ. Ask the city which of the three applies.
Planned unit developmentsProperty zoned PUD is not a column in the sign tables. Ask the city which sign rules apply.
Sign permit feeThe sign permit fee is in the city's Permit Fee Schedule (Planning Services page), which could not be read automatically. Ask Planning Services for the current fee.
Master signage plansLarge commercial developments and master planned communities can have a master signage plan that changes sign types, numbers, sizes and lighting (§ 28-3-36). Ask the landlord or the city whether one applies.
Outside the city limits (ETJ)§ 28-3-31(b) applies the General Commercial (GC) sign rules in the extraterritorial jurisdiction, but the attached-sign table marks attached sign types as prohibited in its ETJ column. Ask the city before ordering an attached sign in the ETJ.
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.
