This is the only sign-related line item in the entire 26-page consolidated fee schedule, using the same $0-base-plus-valuation structure as Nephi's Small/Large Storage Shed Permits. The Sign Permit Application form and Sign Permit web page still do not themselves list a dollar figure, so budget using the valuation-based method the Building Inspector applies at review.
$0.00 base; additional fee determined by the Building Inspector based on valuation

    Tips

    • Nephi's Sign Permit process is split into Temporary and Permanent application tracks, both submitted through the city's online CivicReview portal.
    • Full sign regulations are codified at Nephi City Code 10.18 — review that chapter for size, height, and placement standards before submitting.
    • If the sign will sit on property you don't own, you must attach a signed statement from the property owner with your application.
    • The Sign Permit Application and Sign Permit web page don't list a dollar figure directly, but Nephi's citywide Fee Schedule prices sign permits (listed as 'Sign on Pole') at a $0.00 base fee with the Building Inspector determining any additional amount by valuation -- confirm the specific valuation-based total with the Building Permits office before applying.
