Signs in Surprise, AZ

What the Surprise zoning ordinance says about signs, district by district. Section numbers link to the official ordinance.

All districts

Signs are regulated citywide in LDO Chapter 109 (Article I - In General; Process and Overview), which sets permitting requirements (most permanent signs require a construction permit; temporary signs, sign walkers, non-electrified window/shingle/address signs, sun screens, and flags under 6 feet are exempt), sign quality/construction/maintenance standards, sign area and monument-height measurement methodology (Sec. 109-1.8), sign classifications and types with time/place/manner restrictions on temporary signs (Sec. 109-1.9, Table 109-1a), electronic messaging centers, reader panels, comprehensive sign programs, and nonconforming sign provisions. Exact-figure review-gated: this draft confirmed the chapter's structure and general/measurement provisions live this session, but could not independently locate and transcribe the specific by-zone permanent sign area and height limit table (if a single citywide table exists separate from the type-by-type standards in Sec. 109-1.9) in the time available. Confirm the specific sign area, height, and permit standards for your zoning district and sign type with Planning and Zoning (623-222-3000) or the Municode publication before acting.
