Signs

Overview

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. However, there are permanent wall signs that do not require a building.

If you are planning a garage sale, event, or putting up an election sign within the City of Sherwood it’s important to know the rules. Click below for more information to ensure you’re compliant.
