Before you file in Highland Village

Nonresidential overlay district: sign plan with the site planNonresidential property in the Nonresidential Overlay Zoning District (Zoning Ordinance Part VIII, § 62) needs a sign plan with the site plan, and exterior signs are limited to what the approved site plan allows (§ 68). The overlay is not on the online zoning layer; ask the city whether the lot is in it.
Planned developmentsMuch of the retail along FM 407 is zoned PD-C or PD-R, and other areas are numbered PDs. A PD ordinance can set its own sign rules; check the PD ordinance with the city.
Permit fee by sign valuationThe sign permit fee is based on the valuation of the sign under Table 1-A of the 1994 Uniform Building Code (§ 33.3.C). The city does not publish a separate sign fee; ask Building Inspections.
Signs near homesSigns close to a residential district boundary follow the residential sign rules (§ 33.7.A), and lighted signs near a residential building must be shielded (§ 33.5.H.2).
