Signs in San Marcos, TX

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

All districts

Sign permits and standards are set citywide by Chapter 7 Article 3 of the Development Code (Secs. 7.3.1.1 and following), not by the base zoning districts. Sign type, size, and location allowances vary by context, and the article regulates permit exemptions such as certain unlit noncommercial signs. Review Chapter 7 Article 3 and confirm the sign type allowances for the specific property with the Planning Division before designing or ordering a sign. Confirm the current code text, any overlay or historic district, and any planned development or regulating plan conditions with the San Marcos Planning Division before relying on this cell.
