West Des Moines Sign Permits & Code Compliance
As of 2026, West Des Moines City Code Title 9, Chapter 18 requires a sign permit before a sign is erected, altered, or relocated. Applications are submitted through the City Access Portal, and the Department of Development Services reviews them for code compliance. The director has up to 20 business days after filing to complete that review.
A sign erection permit becomes null and void if the authorized work isn’t completed within six months of issuance. Installing a sign without a valid permit can result in a doubled permit fee, sign removal, or other enforcement remedies.
We offer Surveying & Permitting services to support exterior sign projects that require code compliance. Our team can assist with municipal forms and project information, while the City of West Des Moines controls permit review, fees, and approval.
