Permit fee. The sign code sets no fee itself: permit fees to erect, alter or relocate a sign follow the fee schedule the city adopts (Appendix B Zoning, section 6745). Ask the city for the current sign permit fee.
District sign rules. The LO Limited Office, BA Brook Avenue and CC Commercial Corridor districts have their own sign sections (sections 3367, 3721 and 3735) that limit which sign types are allowed. In the RDD River Development District, signs must be approved through site plan review (section 3706). Check the district section as well as Table 6741.
Downtown wall signs. In the CBD Central Business district, signs that do not follow Table 6741 Note 5 and are placed on a building wall above the share of the wall set in Note 5 go through the conditional use procedure (section 7200).
Multi-tenant signs. Table 6741 has separate rows for multi-tenant signs, with their own size, height and placement limits, and for name plates. Those rows are not included here; ask the city which limits apply to a sign for a multi-tenant building.
All signs must meet the visibility sight triangle in section 102-40 of the Wichita Falls Code of Ordinances.
