Signs in McKinney, TX

A sign permit is required from the Building Inspection Department before erecting, majorly repairing, or relocating most signs (Sec. 502A), with listed exemptions such as government flags, incidental window signs, and menu boards (Sec. 502E). Ground signs (Table 5-4) and pole signs (Table 5-5) scale with the adjacent right-of-way (ROW) width in four tiers (0-70 ft ROW, 71-99 ft ROW, 100-250 ft ROW, and Freeway), each with three lot-frontage sub-tiers except Freeway: ground sign maximum area runs from 20 sq ft (smallest frontage, 0-70 ft ROW) up to 150 sq ft (Freeway); ground sign maximum height runs from 3.5 feet up to 10 feet (Freeway); pole signs follow the same frontage/area tiers but reach greater heights, from 8 feet (0-70 ft ROW) up to 40 feet (Freeway), and pole signs are not allowed at all on lots with under 50 feet of frontage in the 0-70 ft ROW tier. Setback from the street ROW line is a flat 3.5 feet for ground signs across all tiers; pole signs and the other ground-sign setback (from any property line other than ROW) scale from 5 feet up to 15 feet by tier. Lots with multiple frontages get one sign per frontage, and may combine area allowances up to 150 percent of the largest single allowance or 200 square feet, whichever is less.
