Sign code rules in 54 U.S. cities: permits, size and height limits, illumination and prohibited signs, with verbatim ordinance quotes (2026)

What 54 city sign ordinances in 25 U.S. states say about sign permits, wall and freestanding sign area, height and setback, projecting signs, window coverage, illumination, digital message centres, temporary banners, prohibited sign types and the zoning district the rules describe: 560 published rules, one row each, with the verbatim ordinance passage behind every value, the section number and the source ordinance. A value is included only when its supporting quote was found word for word in the ordinance, so gaps mean "not published here" rather than "not regulated". Compiled for PrinterFlo's sign codes by city, which has a plain-English summary page for each city (for example the Austin sign code) and sign code statistics across all 54. Ordinances were read between July 30 and August 2, 2026. Research, not legal advice: check with the city's permit office before fabricating or installing a sign.
