While sign ordinances might sometimes seem excessively bureaucratic, they play an important role in keeping communities safe and preserving Baltimore’s distinct character.
In the November 19th, 2018 amendments to the City of Baltimore’s sign code, the city council described the “purposes and intent of the enactment” of their storefront sign design standards as follows:
You can find the full list under section 17-101(c) of the Baltimore Code of Ordinances. But if these reasons don’t sway you, just remember: non-compliance costs you. Not only will you potentially have to pay a fine, but you’ll also need to cover the costs of a redesign. Much better to begin your design fully apprised of all relevant sign design standards, so you can avoid the cost of backtracking and get it right from the start.
That’s where we come in. Even if you have a finished design in-hand, or a strong design vision in mind, it’s a good idea to confer with our storefront sign design specialists to make sure it’s within the law. The following list of prohibited storefront sign designs should help get you started, and then we’re only a phone call away!
