City Permits and Application Fee

Each City or municipality has a permit and associated fee.  The fee covers a specific period of time and varies and is governed by local jurisdiction and bylaws.  Okanagan Portable Sign rentals can apply and manage the application process in Kelowna for a $40.00 fee over and above the actual sign permit fee.  For locations other than Kelowna please call for a quote.  In some cases it maybe more advantageous for you to handle the process yourself. These charges can be applied to your first invoice.

Please find below a “City By-law Summary”.  This chart is a simple tool to help understand the bylaws and fees for your area.  Please remember this is only a guide as local bylaws may change and your local bylaw enforcement officer is the final authority.
