From Downtown Fort Worth towers to the Stockyards Historic District and AllianceTexas corporate corridors, United Signs designs, engineers, and installs code-approved signage built for Cowtown's sign ordinance and fast-growing commercial market.
Fort Worth sign permits run through the City Zoning Section via the Accela Citizen Access portal. Detached signs require a site plan, easement dimensions, and a full sign exhibit, with engineering required for any element above 25 feet. Attached signs need building elevations, and each sign on a property requires its own permit. Electronic changeable copy signs require a Board of Adjustment special exception and must include automatic dimming technology. Properties in historic and preservation overlay districts follow additional review requirements. United Signs manages design, permitting, fabrication, and installation without outsourcing a single step.

Answers to common questions about custom and digital sign services, installation, permitting, and compliance in Fort Worth.
It depends on the sign type. Detached signs need a site plan with dimensions to all property lines and easements, a plat, and a full sign exhibit with all measurements in feet. Engineering is required if any part of the sign is above 25 feet. Attached signs require building elevations and a sign exhibit. Each sign on a property needs its own permit.
Every sign requires a sign location inspection before installation and a final sign inspection on the day of installation, before the sign goes up. Detached signs with any element above 25 feet also need a sign foundation inspection.
Yes. Electronic changeable copy signs require a special exception from the City of Fort Worth Board of Adjustment. All approved electronic signs must include automatic dimming technology, keeping illumination within 0.3 foot-candles above ambient light.
Properties in Fort Worth's historic and preservation overlay districts may be subject to additional sign review requirements. United Signs identifies any applicable overlay restrictions during the initial code review on every project.
