Step 1.Review the banner requirements before applying

Make sure to start the process early. For General Use banner permits we recommend checking availability at least a month before you want to hang your banner. We also recommend that you use a sign or printing contractor. This process can be difficult to do on your own.

You'll need to submit your application a minimum of 14 days in advance (no more than six months in advance).
It costs $180.00 for each application and $0.54 per pole per day.
Once you submit your application and it's approved, you'll receive an invoice via email.

Eligible Applicants:

Eligible applicants shall include local nonprofits, businesses and community organizations, cultural institutions, and publicly owned entertainment venues; City, County and State government or their subsidiaries; and local educational institutions. Political organizations and campaigns are not eligible to apply.

Step 2.Decide where you want to hang your banner

Decide which light pole you want to hang your banner(s) on. You can check pole availability once you start the application process by entering a date range and selecting the pole from the map.

Step 3.Design your banner

It's a good idea to review the Banner Specifications. After you choose an available light pole, your contractor will check the size of your banner to see if you need extra hardware.
