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 $25.00 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.

Generally there is no fee for nonprofit organizations, churches, schools and farm based businesses, but is always best to check your local by bylaws.

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.
