HOW DO I GET A SIGN PERMIT IN COBB COUNTY? About to set up a business or move your business in Cobb County? You will need a Sign Permit. Where do you go and what do you need to do to get this? First, you need to know where you will get your Certificate of Occupancy (COA). Whatever City or County you get this from will also provide your sign permit. This link will get you to the on-line Sign Permit Office for Cobb County. Click here to go to the Cobb County Sign Permit Download Area Here you will find 1) Sign Applications Requirements/Permits, 2) Semi-Permanent Directional Sign Permits and 3) Temporary Display Applications. This link will take you to the actual regulations of permitting. Click here to view Sign Permit Regulations (Go to Chapter 134 Zoning in Left Window and Article VI Signs in Right Window) These regulations must be followed to get approval for your permit. The Sign Permit Office is Located at: Code Enforcement Office, 1150 Powder Springs Rd. Suite 400, Marietta, GA 30064 770-528-2186 fax: 770-528-2092 Contact: Carolyn Bing What are some things to be concerned with regarding your sign? Each municipality has its own restrictions and regulations concerning signs. Zoning districts and road frontages also affect what size a sign is allowed to be. For example, Cobb County requires your sign to be no larger than 2 square feet for each linear foot of building frontage. In other words, a building with 20 linear feet of frontage may have no more than 40 square feet of sign. This is measured from the topmost point to the bottommost point and left and right. Take the measurements in feet and multiply them for square footage. Call Signs & More and we will get your permit for you or at no charge provide the information you need to procure your own permit.  Also please visit our Blog.
