Tips

  • Sign permits are valid for six (6) months from the date of issuance — any sign not installed within six months requires a new sign permit, and permit fees for expired permits are not refundable.
  • Incomplete applications will not be accepted — examples of elevation plans, construction drawings, and site plans may be inspected in the Planning & Zoning office before you submit.
  • Allowable sign area, height, and setbacks vary by zoning district — check the Midvale City Zoning Ordinance and zoning map for the specific property before designing the sign.
  • No flat sign-permit fee is published; the city invoices based on sign valuation after the application is approved (per Resolution 2/26/02C, applying the city's own Building Permit Fees valuation table), so budget for that step before ordering signage.
