How do I apply for a sign permit?
Temporary Signs
For signs that are to be erected for 30 days or less, you will need to submit a Temporary Sign application. You can apply by submitting all required documents in the Application Checklist as well as a completed Application Form to planning@cochrane.ca. The application fee for a Temporary Sign is $75.00 per sign.
Permanent Signs
For signs that will be in place for more than 30 days, a development permit application is required. Visit our Development Permit webpage for more information about the application process, including application forms, checklists, timelines and fees.
A development permit is not required to:
- Maintain or repair a legally existing sign
- Change or reduce the copy area of a legally existing sign
