What we ship
The Construction Industries Board (CIB) licenses electrical contractors and journeymen statewide, and each license is tied to a category of work. Residential licenses are limited to residential construction, so a storefront sign needs a contractor and journeyman licensed for commercial work.
In Oklahoma City, every sign application is filed by a registered sign contractor with a site plan drawn by a state-licensed engineer or surveyor, and temporary signs placed in the city right-of-way need a monthly permit and sticker.

Who can install it
Oklahoma’s Electrical License Act and CIB rules (OAC 158:40) license electrical contractors and journeyman electricians by category, the classification that limits what kind of electrical work a license covers. A journeyman installs, repairs and maintains electrical facilities only in the category the license names, and residential contractor and residential journeyman licenses are limited to residential electrical construction, so they don’t cover a storefront.
Supervision is licensed too: no one may act as a foreman, supervisor or superintendent over electrical work for a contractor without a CIB contractor or journeyman license in the right category for the work. Electrical licensees complete six hours of continuing education every 36 months. Check the contractor and the electrician on the CIB license search before you hire.
| Licensing agency | Oklahoma Construction Industries Board |
|---|---|
| Business | Electrical contractor, in a category of work |
| Individuals | Journeyman electrician, in the same kind of category |
| Residential licenses | Limited to residential electrical construction |
| Continuing education | 6 hours every 36 months |
Rules change. Always confirm with the office that issues your permit before you order.
Permits
Oklahoma cities issue sign permits under their own zoning codes; Oklahoma City, Tulsa and Norman each enforce their own sign rules, and a lit sign also needs an electrical permit pulled by a licensed contractor.
In Oklahoma City, all signs must be submitted by a registered sign contractor. The application lists the property, owner, legal description, sign type, height, square footage and estimated cost, and it includes a site plan drawn to scale by a state-licensed engineer or surveyor showing property lines, easements, right-of-way and the sign’s location, plus its distance to any highway within 500 feet. Wall and roof signs add elevations of the building face with overall dimensions, material and color details, and structural details of the wall or roof connection where needed. Permits are filed online through the city’s permitting portal or at the Development Center.
Signs in a designated Design District may need extra review through the Planning Department’s Certificate of Appropriateness program before the permit is issued.
| Sign permit | Your city |
|---|---|
| Oklahoma City applicant | Registered sign contractor |
| OKC site plan | Drawn to scale by a state-licensed engineer or surveyor |
| OKC Design Districts | Certificate of Appropriateness may be required |

Banners and temporary displays
Since March 2024, Oklahoma City allows temporary signs in many city rights-of-way, the strip between the curb and the sidewalk, medians and alleys, with a permit. The permit costs $25, each sign needs a sticker at 25 cents that is good for the month it’s bought, and signs may stay up 30 days, three times a year. They’re never allowed in intersection sight triangles or on utility poles, lamp posts, street signs or parking meters. Temporary signs on your own private property, outside the right-of-way, don’t need this permit.
Weather
Oklahoma storefronts face strong spring winds and hailstorms on the open plains, plus summer heat and winter ice storms. Ask your installer to anchor letters for high gusts and to use sealed, gasketed raceways on exposed frontage.

Questions

A Construction Industries Board journeyman license in a category that covers commercial work, working for a CIB-licensed electrical contractor. Residential contractor and residential journeyman licenses are limited to residential construction, so they don’t cover a storefront.
