Sign Permit
Description:
Sign permits ensure that sign construction and materials
conform to the provisions of the International Building Code/2000 Edition and the city of Quincy's
Municipal Code, Section 29.1401, as
amended. The purpose of the
IBC and sign code is to protect public health, safety and
welfare by requiring safe construction and erection of signs and to
allow both on premise and off premise signs and advertising.
