Signs in Prosper, TX

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

All districts

Sign regulations live outside the Unified Development Code, in Article 3.14, Signs, of Chapter 3, Building Regulations, in the Town's separate Code of Ordinances, hosted on eCode360 (ecode360.com/PR6834). A permit is required for most signs (government/regulatory signs are exempt) and a permit expires if construction is not completed and inspected within 180 days of issuance (Sec. 3.14.004.a, .e). Representative dimensional limits by sign type (Sec. 3.14.008): a wall sign is capped at 60 square feet or 10 percent of the facade it is mounted on, whichever is greater, except a multi-tenant building with a single entry may reach 500 square feet; a freestanding development sign is capped at 32 square feet and 8 feet in height; a single-tenant monument sign is capped at 64 square feet and 8 feet in height, a multi-tenant monument sign at 80 square feet and 10 feet in height; a banner sign is capped at 48 square feet; an awning sign at 4 feet in height from the base of the awning. This list is representative, not exhaustive; Sec. 3.14.008 sets separate figures for canopy, projecting, menu board, subdivision, political, and other sign types not reproduced here. The UDC's own zoning sign rules (for posting a rezoning case sign on a property, not a business or property sign) are in UDC 2.03.C.3: minimum 16 square foot area, minimum 4 foot width, placed no more than 20 feet from the front property line, erected 10 days before the first public hearing and removed within 3 days of the Town's final decision.
