Sign Standards

The purpose of the Nolensville Zoning Ordinance Sign Standards is to establish a comprehensive scheme for the regulation of Signs in the Town. More specifically, Section 7.1.1  is intended to address aesthetic, traffic safety, and property value concerns for the benefit of the public health, safety and welfare, while allowing the use of Signs as a medium for conveying messages.


Sign Application Process
Step 1. Check Requirements
Review the list of signs that do NOT require a permit. All other signs require a permit. 

Step 2. Complete an Application
If necessary, complete a Permanent Sign Permit Application Each Application for a Sign Permit shall be accompanied by a fully dimensioned Sign Plan that reflects that such Sign, the method and means of its installation, its type, and its location on the applicable Building or Lot comply with all applicable standards and requirements of this Ordinance, together with such other information as may be necessary to determine and provide for the enforcement of 7.1.1 Sign Standards.

Step 3. Submit an Application
Submit the application and pay the associated fee.  

Step 4. Staff Review
Staff will review the application to ensure compliance with all sign standards.  Signs are not reviewed by the Planning Commission.  Staff will approve the sign application and notify you of the approval via phone or email and provide documentation of the approval.  If there is an issue staff will contact you to discuss how to modify the sign for compliance.
