Sign Permit in Frisco, Colorado

The Town of Frisco requires a sign permit for new exterior business signs and exterior sign replacements, administered by the Planning Division (970-668-5276) via the online CommunityCore portal. Developments with multiple tenants, businesses, or uses require a Master Sign Plan. Sign design must follow location-specific design criteria — the Summit Boulevard Corridor Sign Guide or the Main Street Sign Guide, depending on the property's location — in addition to the Town Code's general sign standards. Temporary banner signage is handled through a separate Banner Permit, sized and regulated under Town Code Section 180-5.2.4.

    Tips

    • Sign design in Frisco depends on where the property sits — check whether the Summit Boulevard Corridor Sign Guide or the Main Street Sign Guide applies to your location before designing a sign, since the two guides set different criteria.
    • Multi-tenant developments need a Master Sign Plan before individual tenant signs can be permitted — budget extra lead time if the property doesn't already have one on file.
    • Temporary banners use a separate Banner Permit process from permanent exterior signage — don't assume your sign permit covers banner advertising.
