Sign Permit (Commercial/Business Signage) in Casa Grande, Arizona

Signs) by the Planning & Development Department at the Development Center.

Tips
- The Consolidated Fee Schedule's 'Sign Permit' line item is not a dollar figure -- it prints 'See Description.' The actual rate ($4.00/sq ft, $150.00 minimum) is only published on the City's own Sign Permit Application form; always confirm the current rate with the Development Center before budgeting a sign project.
- The City's live Sign Permit Application link (casagrandeaz.gov/DocumentCenter/View/4166/SIGN-APPLICATION) returned a 404 at time of this review; the form was recovered from a January 2026 Wayback Machine snapshot -- verify the Development Center still uses this exact fee structure before relying on it.
- A Comprehensive Sign Plan ($1,050.00) is a separate Planning land-use entitlement for master sign programs at planned shopping centers/multi-tenant developments -- it is not a substitute for the per-sign building-level Sign Permit each tenant still needs.
- Per the City's A.R.S. Section 9-835 review timeframe chart, 'Sign' is its own Miscellaneous-category classification at 2 business days Administrative Completeness Review plus 20 business days each for Initial and Resubmittal Substantive Review -- a 44-business-day Over-All Timeframe maximum (slower than the 24-day single-trade/demolition track, but faster than full new construction is not applicable here since signs share the 44-day track with residential new construction).
