Marketing & Advertising

Business Signage

Any new sign fixture or change in sign face requires a sign permit from the Town of Erie to ensure that the signs are properly and safely installed and to prevent sign blight. Marketing2

The Building Division can help you with size, location, cost, inspection, and additional details to consider when designing, constructing and installing a sign.

Temporary Signs/Banners/Flags

Each banner or temporary sign requires a Temporary Sign Permit application from the Town of Erie, which allows a business to have a temporary sign for no more than 30 days in a calendar year.

To peddle flyers or products door-to-door, a solicitors license application and background review must be completed.
