Before you file in Leander

  • Road type decides the sizeLeander sets sign sizes by the road the lot or storefront faces: the 183A toll road, an arterial, or a collector/local road (arterials and collectors as shown on the city's Transportation Master Plan). Pick the group that matches the property.
  • Planned unit developmentsProperties zoned PUD may have their own sign rules in the PUD ordinance. Ask the city which standards apply.
  • Master sign plansA master sign plan is required for projects in a center identified by the Comprehensive Plan and can reallocate sign area and raise sign height (Sec. 3.08.013). Ask the landlord or the city whether one applies.
  • Code versionThese rules come from the city's Sign Ordinance PDF (updated August 21, 2025, Ord. 25-059-00). The online Code of Ordinances (Municode, version of August 28, 2026) cites the same ordinance as the latest change to the sign article. Check with the city for anything adopted since.
