Signs
A sign identifies, describes, or illustrates and directs attention to a product, place, activity, person , institution or business. There are basically two types of signs: Permanent or Temporary (includes portable, banner, and temporary signs.
Depending on the size and materials the sign is made of, a building permit may be required. If you are unsure if a Building Permit is required, contact the Building Department at 503.625.4226.
Permanent signs are intended to remain for the long term. Most permanent signs require a building permit because they are attached to a structure (building/wall) or are free-standing requiring engineered plans.
If you are planning to send a message with portable or temporary signs within the City of Sherwood, know the rules. Below is a quick synopsis of the rules with more detail towards the bottom of the page. You can open and print the Sign Brochure (linked at the bottom of the page) or contact the Planning Department at 503.925.2308 between the hours of 8 AM and 5 PM, Monday through Friday to make sure your signs are placed properly.
