How it works

Ordering a Storefront Sign for Everett, WA

Everett’s sign chapter has two rules worth knowing before you design: window signs are capped at 25% of the window area, and each new permitted sign on a property with nonconforming signs requires one nonconforming sign to be removed or brought into conformance.

We build and ship; a local pro installs. Your sign is made, tested and shipped to your door from Washington or California with a wiring diagram and install pattern. A licensed sign installer or electrician in Everett, WA mounts and connects it. We don’t have an office or installation crew in Everett.

Who can install it

Who Can Connect a Sign in Everett

Everett issues its own electrical permits and inspections, so your L&I-licensed electrical contractor applies to the City of Everett for the sign’s electrical permit.

Permits

Everett Sign Permits

Everett’s sign rules are in EMC Chapter 19.36. Sign permit applications go to the building official and need Planning approval, and the city engineer reviews signs for hazards to drivers and pedestrians.

When a new sign that needs a permit goes on a property with nonconforming signs, one nonconforming sign must be removed or brought into conformance for each new sign installed for that business. Permanent and temporary window signs for commercial uses are limited to 25% of the window area.
