Before you file in Webster

  • Office, NASA Parkway and PD zoning. Webster's sign code (Chapter 66) names business and industrial districts, R-2 and R-1/R-1A, but not the office (O), NASA Parkway (NP) or planned development (PD) districts. A PD may have its own sign guidelines; NP has its own zoning section. Ask the city which sign rules apply.

  • Sign permit fee

    The sign permit fee is set by a city council fee schedule kept by the city secretary (Sec. 66-124); it is not published with the building permit fees. Ask the Building Division.
