The Las Vegas Sign Permit Guide (2026)

Nearly every exterior sign in the Las Vegas valley needs a permit before installation. The exact requirements depend on which jurisdiction your building sits in — Clark County, City of Las Vegas, Henderson, or North Las Vegas — and each has slightly different submittal packages, fee schedules, and review timelines.

In most cases you'll need stamped structural drawings, an electrical plan, landlord authorization, and elevation drawings showing the sign in context. Illuminated signs require an electrical permit in addition to the sign permit itself.

Timelines run from about 2 to 6 weeks depending on backlog and whether the property is in a special overlay district (like Fremont or the Strip). We handle every step of this on your behalf and only charge the actual pass-through fees.
