Sign permits

These files document permits issued as official building and placement authorization for signs. Some signs were erected as early as 1921, but actual permits were not issued until 1953. During the 1960s these permit files began to be integrated into the building permit files and no separate sign files were maintained. The files include location, description (size, support, whether illuminated, date erected, permit number (if included), company, field check, sign number, picture, and related correspondence. They may also include sign violations which would contain complaints and any actions taken.
