Before you file in Kerrville

  • Downtown has its own sign rulesIn the Downtown Arts and Culture District (DAC), which includes the Downtown Core (DC), Sec. 92-8 adds rules that win over the rest of Chapter 92 where they conflict. Electronic displays, freestanding signs and feather signs are not allowed in the DC. Sidewalk signs are allowed only downtown, limited per establishment, and may need a right-of-way license from the city.
  • Planned developmentsProperty zoned PD follows its own planned development ordinance (the PD number is shown with the zone). Ask Planning which sign rules apply.
  • Fee not shownSign permit fees are set by city council in the city's FY2027 fee schedule (effective October 1, 2026), which is published only as an image, so no fee is shown here. Check the fee schedule or ask the Building Division. Permits are applied for through MyGovernmentOnline (MGO).
  • VariancesSign variances are heard by the Planning and Zoning Commission after a public hearing (Sec. 92-14); prohibited signs cannot get a variance.
