CITY OF SALEM SIGN PERMIT PROCESS
All exterior signs, awnings, and interior signs that can be seen from the exterior are required to have a City of
Salem Sign Permit before a sign can be fabricated and installed.
Please be aware that in some areas of the city, review by a governing board must take place before a City permit
can be issued. These areas include the Urban Renewal Area (governed by the Salem Redevelopment Authority)
and Local Historic Districts(governed by the Salem Historic Commission).
Please note that it takes roughly three weeks to receive a sign permit and in areas governed by a review board it
may take longer.
Before any sign application can be reviewed, the following material must be submitted with the application:
■ Scaled Drawing of Sign(including dimensions) ■ Method of Lighting
■ Color Scheme ■ Building Frontage(width of building on public
■ Letter Style(font) way)
■ Letter Size • Photograph of Building(current conditions)
• Method of Attachment • Photograph of Building(with proposed signage)
The Building Inspector may require additional pertinent information to insure compliance with the City of Salem
Sign Ordinance and any other applicable laws.
Sign Application Fees
There is a twenty-dollar($20) minimum permit fee for each application. If the estimated cost of fabrication and
installation is$2,000 or more, a fee of$10 per$1,000 plus a$5 application fee will be charged. For example, a
$12,000 sign project would have a$125 fee.
Electrical Permit
A licensed electrician must install any sign with ancillary lighting and sign boxes must be UL listed. An Electrical
Permit must be obtained from the City of Salem Electrical Department,48 Lafayette Street, and be submitted with
the sign application before a sign permit will be issued.
Surety Bonds for Signs or Awnings Hung over a Public Way
Any sign or awning hung over a public way or sidewalk shall require a surety bond in the sum of one thousand
dollars($1,000.00) conditioned to save harmless the City from any claims. This bond must be placed on file in the
City Clerk's office. A copy of such bond must be submitted with the sign application before a sign permit will be
issued. Contact your insurance provider to obtain the surety bond.
Liability Insurance for Portable (A-Frame) Signs
Proof of adequate liability insurance with a minimum limit of$1,000,000.00 for each occurrence must be provided
to the City Clerk and remain in effect for as long as the portable sign is used. The portable sign must be indicated
as being included in the liability coverage. The City, and in the Urban Renewal Areas, the Salem Redevelopment
Authority, must be listed as additional insured(s). A copy of the insurance certificate must be submitted with the
sign application before a sign permit will be issued.

Lighting of Awnings �
Awnings can have down lights set behind or e
inside to light the building facade below, but should
not be internally illuminated as if they were a sign.
Down lighting of awnings should also be avoided as
it takes away from the window display area where
most lighting should be concentrated.

Subject: castle hill mini mart sign
Good Afternoon,
I am emailing you regarding a sign permit application for Castle Hill Mini-Mart located on 280 Jefferson Street. Please
note that Jefferson Avenue is an Entrance Corridor. As such,the sign is subject to the Commercial Corridor Design
Guidelines.
The sign shown on the application is a primary sign on an awning. Per the guidelines, (pg 16) awnings signs should be
secondary to a primary sign. For that reason,you need to have at least one primary surface sign. I recommend a surface
sign on each corner with external lights,and an awning just around the corner above the door entrance with wording
limited to panel (the lower portion of the awning).
Please call me if you have any questions or would like to further discuss.
