What the Columbia zoning ordinance says about signs, district by district. Section numbers link to the official ordinance.
Signs citywide are regulated by Article 7, with district-specific allowances tied to the character district. Sign type, size, and placement depend on the use, frontage, and any overlay (Historic and Arts District overlays add review steps). Confirm the specific sign type table in Article 7 and whether a Certificate of Appropriateness is needed before fabricating any sign.
Signs in SD-INT follow Article 7, which sets sign types, sizes, and heights by district and use. Interstate-oriented signage has its own limits in Article 7; confirm the specific sign type table before design.
