Sign Permit in Eagle, Colorado

Required for installation of permanent signage in the Town of Eagle. Unlike most other permit types in this file, a Sign Permit is a Planning Division application (not a Building Division permit) reviewed under Chapter 4.16 (Sign Code) of the Town's Land Use and Development Code, Ordinance No. 10, Series 2022, per the Town's own live Forms, Permits, Fees & Applications page (fetched and read directly 2026-08-13), which directs applicants to review the Town's sign regulations before completing the fillable Sign Permit Application. The 2026 Fee Schedule bills this under its own Land Use Application Fees table (Planning Fees section) rather than the Building Division's valuation-based Building Permit Fee schedule used elsewhere in this file.

When you need this permit

  • Sign Permit Application (fillable form, hosted via Adobe Acrobat Sign) must be completed and submitted to Planning@townofeagle.org, per the Town's Forms, Permits, Fees & Applications page
  • Applicants are directed to review the Town's sign regulations (Land Use and Development Code Chapter 4.16, Ordinance No. 10, Series 2022) before completing the application
  • A distinct, lower-cost 'Sign Permit - Comprehensive sign program' fee tier exists on the 2026 Fee Schedule for multi-sign or development-wide sign programs, versus the standard Sign Permit fee for an individual sign
  • If the sign is illuminated, a separate electrical permit is required directly through the Colorado DPO Online Permitting System — the Town of Eagle issues no electrical permits of any kind (electrical permitting and inspection in Eagle is entirely state-administered, as documented throughout this file's electrical-permit and ev-charger-permit entries)
  • The full operative text of LUDC Chapter 4.16 (permit-exempt sign types, size/height limits, illumination standards) was not independently fetchable this session: library.municode.com/co/eagle is a JavaScript-rendered Angular application that returns only the SPA shell to both direct WebFetch and browser-header curl requests — confirmed by inspecting the returned HTML for Angular/ng-app markers. This is the same documented Municode limitation noted for Avon and other Colorado jurisdictions in this corpus; do not assume specific exemption thresholds without confirming directly with the Planning & Zoning Department (970-328-9655 / Planning@townofeagle.org)

Tips

  • A Sign Permit in Eagle is processed by the Planning & Zoning Department, not the Building Division and not through the Community Core portal used for building/mechanical/plumbing permits elsewhere in this file — completed applications go to Planning@townofeagle.org instead.
  • An illuminated sign needs a completely separate Colorado DPO electrical permit, exactly like every other electrical scope in the Town of Eagle — budget a second application and a second inspection track alongside the Sign Permit itself.
  • A single business sign is billed at the standard $100 Sign Permit fee; a multi-tenant or development-wide sign program instead falls under the $150 'Comprehensive sign program' fee tier — confirm which applies to your property before submitting.

The Town's Planning & Zoning Department, under Chapter 4.16 (Sign Code) of the Land Use and Development Code (Ordinance No. 10, Series 2022) — this is a Planning Division application, not a Building Division permit, and completed applications are submitted to Planning@townofeagle.org rather than through the Community Core portal used for building, mechanical, and plumbing permits.

Yes. Because the Town of Eagle issues no electrical permits of any kind (electrical permitting in Eagle is entirely administered by the Colorado DPO State Electrical Board), an illuminated sign's electrical component requires its own separate DPO electrical permit in addition to the Town's Sign Permit.
