Signs
Signs in Las Cruces must comply to the Sign
Code. A sign permit is required for all types of signs within the
City. Examples include commercial and identification signs, construction signs,
real estate signs, temporary displays such as portable signs
and banners, other off-premise
advertising signs, and other related project signs. A permit is also required to move an existing
sign to reflect a new business.
Specific areas of the city may also have special provisions
that must be met. Areas such as the Avenida de Mesilla Gateway
District, the Central Business District and the University Avenue
Corridor District, have provisions which regulate not only sign
size and placement but sign materials, graphics and other design
factors. The sign application process is basically the
same in any area.
A sign permit application with appropriate
information must be submitted to the Community Development
Department. The Sign Administrator may assist
you with all your questions.
