Navigating Charleston’s Sign Permitting Process

Getting a building sign installed in Charleston, SC involves more than choosing a design. Depending on where your business is located, your signage may require approval from the City’s Zoning Division and, in some cases, review by the Board of Architectural Review (BAR) or the Commercial Corridor Design Review Board. FASTSIGNS® of Charleston, SC offers a dedicated Survey and Permitting service so you don’t have to navigate that alone. Our project managers coordinate the permitting process alongside design and fabrication, helping keep your timeline as smooth as possible within the city’s requirements.

• Historic district locations: The BAR reviews signage visible from the public right-of-way in Charleston’s historic areas. Under BAR sign policy, a business may use up to two of five permitted signage types on a facade, and illuminated signs require separate review before permit approval.
• Commercial corridor locations: Businesses outside historic districts but within designated corridors may go through the Design Review Board instead.
• Permitting timelines: Most signage requests are reviewed by City staff rather than the full Board. Staff decisions may be appealed within 15 calendar days, but more complex projects can move through conceptual, preliminary, and final review stages. We’ll let you know what to expect for your specific situation.
