Before you file in Schertz

Limits depend on the road, not the zoningSchertz sets wall sign limits by the road in the building's address and freestanding sign limits by the road the sign faces (Interstate, Farm to Market Road, or other) (UDC Secs. 21.11.9 and 21.11.10). Check which road applies.
Planned Development DistrictsA Planned Development District (PDD) has its own development standards adopted by ordinance, and some PDDs set their own sign rules. If the property is in a PDD, check its ordinance with the city.
Sign rules under discussionThe Planning and Zoning Commission held a workshop on Article 11 (signs) in July 2026. As of the last check we found no adopted change; the rules here are from Article 11 as adopted June 17, 2025.
Sign waiversThe Planning and Zoning Commission can grant waivers from the sign rules (Sec. 21.11.15).
