In order to install a building-mounted or freestanding sign, a business must make an application to the Architectural Review Board, which will evaluate the sign for compliance with the Architectural Guidelines. Details about sign regulations are located in Article VI of the City Zoning Ordinance. Our Planning Department offers first-class service and is the best resource for details about sign requirements. Email the City Planning Department or call the department at 757-220-6130 for information about the requirements.
Sign Replacement Program
The Williamsburg Economic Development Authority offers a sign replacement grant program that assists local businesses and property owners who wish to bring their existing signs into compliance with the signage requirements.
