Before you file in Lufkin

  • Sign limits only in the office districts. Lufkin's zoning ordinance sets sign size, height and number limits only for the RPO and O districts (Article III, Parts 11 and 13, § 8). The district sections for NR, LB, CB, C, LM, HM and the other districts have no sign limits of their own. Ask Inspection Services what applies before designing a sign there.

  • Special uses and planned unit developments. Property with a Special Use Permit (SU on the city map) or zoned PUD may have sign conditions in the ordinance that approved it. Ask the city which sign rules apply.

  • Off-premises signs and billboards

    Signs are allowed only on-premises. Off-premises signs and billboards are allowed only in the HM and LM districts, either as the relocation of a listed sign from the Main Street area or by a Special Use Permit when a sign is removed from the Main Street area in the CB district, each with Planning and Zoning Commission review and City Council approval (Zoning Ordinance Article XXI, Part 10, § 3).

  • Adaptive Reuse Overlay - Memorial

    The ARO-M overlay has its own district regulations, which are not part of the sign rules shown here. Ask the city whether they limit signs at the address.

  • Permit fee

    The sign permit fee is set in the city's permit fee schedule (Ordinance 4765), which is not shown here. Ask Inspection Services for the current fee.
