Before you file in Hurst

Sign permit fee not in the codeHurst's sign regulations say permit fees are set by the city manager, and the city's fee schedule could not be read. Ask the Building Inspections division for the current fee. Source
Planned Development (PD) and site plansMany Hurst commercial sites are zoned PD. Signs in a PD follow the district the PD was created from unless the site plan further restricts them, and in a district that requires a site plan no sign is allowed unless the site plan shows it. Many limits can also be changed by PD site plan. Check the site plan with the city.
Historic Landmark sitesAltering the exterior of a Historic Landmark property (map codes ending in H) needs a certificate of site plan approval first; the code counts signs as minor exterior alterations.
Town Center and Mixed-Use overlayThe TC Town Center District has its own sign exceptions (building and monument limits, prohibited sign types, no freestanding signs along part of Town Center Drive). Mixed-Use (MU-PD) projects need an approved site plan and have their own neon sign limits.
Separate electrical permitIlluminated signs need a separate electrical permit and must follow the National Electrical Code as adopted by the city.
Code last amended in 2014Hurst's sign regulations (Sec. 27-22) were last amended in January 2014. The summary table in the code differs from the text in places; the text governs where they differ.
