Tips
- Fort Lupton's sign code exempts some signs from permitting under Development Code Sec. 16-9.02 — check with the Building Department before assuming a planned sign needs a permit.
- The City's Sign Information page references five distinct code sections (16-9.02, 16-9.04 through 16-9.07) covering exemptions, nonresidential standards, general standards, specific sign-type standards, and design guidelines — review all five, not just one, since standards are split across sections by topic.
