New: The City of Dunwoody has recently adopted a new sign code. Please find the new sign code here and contact Allegra DeNooyer with any questions.

If you are planning to replace or add a permanent sign or add temporary signs, sign permits are required.

Sign Code

The Sign Ordinance found in Chapter 20 of the Code of Ordinances governs the type, size, and number of signs that can be displayed on private property.

Permanent Signs - Required Documents

1. Completed Permanent Sign Permit Application
2. Upload sign company's certificate of insurance and business license
3. If you are submitting licenses on behalf of another individual, you will also need to upload a completed Authorized Permit Agent Form

Temporary Signs - Required Documents

1. Review the Rules & Regulations for Temporary Signage
2. A completed Temporary Sign Permit Application is required for large yard signs and all banners, except for banners for new businesses that are installed 60 days prior to the installation of a permanent sign.

To determine the location of ROW, refer to our SmartMap app.

When the SmartMap application opens there will be a tool bar to enter your address. Once you have entered your address, it will be outlined in red bars that indicate the property lines. The red bar closest to the street indicates where the right-of-way ends and your property begins. To the right there is a toolbar with a toolbox on the top. Click the toolbox and it will open other tools within the SmartMap app. Click the measure tool and then select "measure distance." At this point, click on the curb line of the street and then drag the mouse to the red line indicating your property line. Double click on this line and it will give you the approximate distance of the right-of-way for your property.
