Before you file in Mineral Wells

  • Pick your zoning district. Mineral Wells has no zoning layer we can query. Look up your property's district on the city's map viewer and choose it here.

  • Electronic message signs need the Zoning Board of Adjustment. Standards for electronic graphic display and video display signs are decided case by case by the Zoning Board of Adjustment on application (Sec. 6-32(c)). Message board signs follow Sec. 6-32(d).

  • Pole signs in the CBD and projecting signs

    Pole signs in the Central Business District and projecting signs are prohibited unless the Zoning Board of Adjustment permits them (Sec. 6-35).

  • Planned developments and other districts

    Sec. 6-3(r) makes the sign rules prevail over other ordinances except planned unit development districts adopted after the sign regulations. PD, WP-B, A, SF-E and MH are not named in the sign chapter: ask the city which sign rules apply.

  • Permits online

    Sign permits are applied for through the city's GovWell permit portal, and electric signs also need an electrical permit (Sec. 6-3(b)).

  • Fee schedule

    Sign fees come from the city's Master Fee Schedule effective November 1, 2025. Later ordinances amend that schedule; confirm the current fee with the city.
