The Signs and Zoning Enforcement team—in addition to making site visits and inspections to ensure signs and properties are in compliance with the Unified Development Code (UDC)—is also responsible for distributing invoices for annual sign license renewals. To make the process speedier and more efficient, all sign applicants are now sent invoices in January and February of each year with a payment deadline of April 15. The payment deadline allows for all sign applicants to contact the Signs and Zoning Enforcement team to update their renewal with any new information, including closures and sign quantity changes, before any payments are made.
Sign licenses help to ensure that signs are maintained and in good working order, all in accordance with the UDC for size, brightness, height, and structural integrity; signs should also pose no threat to public safety and should not contribute to blight. Our Inspectors perform an annual inspection to ensure all of these standards are met prior to the issuance of a sign permit and the renewal of a sign license.
All invoices for current and past due balances will be sent by Friday, February 7. If an invoice does not have an outstanding balance, it can be paid online via the Develop 901 Citizen Portal; directions on how to complete that task are available here.
If you have questions about the sign license renewal process, an invoice or citation you’ve received, or even pre-application questions concerning a proposed sign, you can reach the Signs and Zoning Enforcement team by email at signs@memphistn.gov or by phone at (901) 636-7275.
