Before you file in La Marque

  • Few size limits outside C-4La Marque's sign rules (Sec. 71-28) set no general size or height limits for on-premises signs; the only fixed limits are for monument signs and billboards in the C-4 Interstate Commercial district (Sec. 71-17(k), (l)). Ask the building official what applies before ordering.
  • Sign permit fee set by resolutionSign permit fees are set by a separate council resolution (Sec. 71-28(h)(5)), which is not in the city code. The fees shown are electrical permit fees only. Ask Development Services for the sign permit fee.
  • Sign colors and letteringSign colors must blend with the surroundings: mainly earth tones, grays, pale colors, white and cream, with darker accent colors only on a limited basis; professional even lettering is required (Sec. 71-28(d)(12), (13)).
