Fee schedule

Sign Permit filing feeThe Town's own Application for Sign Permit form has a blank 'FILING FEE' line filled in per-application by staff rather than a printed dollar amount; confirmed by rendering the source PDF to PNG and reading it visually (no fee figure appears anywhere on the one-page form). This is the same town-wide gap already documented on this file's other permit-type entries -- the Town's linked Fee Schedule (under Departments > Finance) is flagged 'draft' in the site's own navigation and its underlying S3 document returns AccessDenied on every fetch attempt (re-confirmed this session). No fee figure is invented here.

Tips

  • Sign Permits in Eagar are reviewed by the Planning & Zoning Administrator, not the Building Department -- a different reviewing official than the Town's building/electrical/plumbing/mechanical permits.
  • Per the application form: 'Ten days are required for plan review and approval of application' -- this is a flat 10-day figure with no stated 15-day escalation-letter clause (unlike the Town's building/electrical/plumbing forms).
  • Banners are explicitly NOT approved as a permanent sign under this permit; they may only be used briefly for occasions approved by the Planning and Zoning Administrator.
  • No dedicated sign-permit fee amount is published -- as with the rest of this file's fee data, the Town's Fee Schedule link is flagged 'draft' and its underlying document returns AccessDenied. Contact the Building/Community Development Department, 928-333-4128 ext. 222, for a current quote.
  • The application form directs applicants to Chapter 18.72 of the Town's Zoning Ordinance (Title 18) for the substantive sign standards (size/height/placement limits); that title is hosted on Municode behind the same JS-rendered, authentication-gated interface documented elsewhere in this file for Title 15, and no Wayback snapshot of its rendered text exists.

Eagar, Arizona has adopted: Arizona has NO statewide mandatory building code floor for general construction — code adoption is a per-city/county authority under state enabling statutes (e.g., A.R.S. Title 9 for municipalities). The Town of Eagar runs its own Community Development / Building Department and independently adopts and administers its own construction codes; it does NOT defer building permitting to Apache County or to the neighboring Town of Springerville.
