Sign Permits For Businesses: Expert Cory Wipperfurth Of Signmaster Signs Advises On Zoning Requirements In Hellonation Magazine

(MENAFN- GlobeNewsWire - Nasdaq) SUN PRAIRIE, Wis., July 30, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- What steps are required before a business sign can legally be installed? This question is the focus of an in-depth HelloNation article featuring Cory Wipperfurth of Signmaster Signs LLC in Sun Prairie, Wisconsin. The article clarifies a common misunderstanding among business owners: sign installation cannot proceed immediately after design and fabrication. In most municipalities, a permit must be obtained before installation begins. Wipperfurth provides clarity on how zoning codes, architectural boards, and historical commissions all play a role in the approval process.

The complexity of these codes can vary widely between jurisdictions. Some areas allow large, illuminated signs in commercial zones while prohibiting them in nearby residential districts. Business owners who fail to account for these variables may face stop-work orders, sign removal, and monetary penalties. According to Wipperfurth, timing is especially crucial when signs are needed for a business launch. Overlooking steps such as requesting a variance or underestimating a review timeline can derail the entire schedule.

Understanding the permitting process helps avoid setbacks and ensures compliance with community standards. Sign professionals like Wipperfurth often assist in navigating local regulations, but the responsibility ultimately lies with the business owner. The full article, Sign Permits for Businesses: What Owners Need to Know Before Installing Signage , offers essential insights for those planning commercial signage.
