Signs built to be read from the road
A lot of Garner's businesses sit along its main roads: shopping centers, restaurants, auto businesses, offices and churches. Drivers get a few seconds to spot you, so letter size, contrast and placement matter more than decoration. A sign that is too small or too busy gets missed, however good it looks up close, so we size letters for the distance and speed people are actually reading from.
The Town of Garner requires a permit for every permanent sign, and its Planning Department asks that you call before a sign is built if you are unsure. We take care of that. One local detail to know: some Garner mailing addresses are in Johnston County, and those properties follow Johnston County rules instead. We confirm which applies before we design.
Signs we build for Garner businesses
Pylon and pole signs
Tall signs that put your name above parked cars and traffic on a busy road.
Cabinet signs
Lit boxes for walls, poles and ground signs. Easy to update when a tenant changes.
Channel letters
Individual lit letters for shopping center storefronts.
LED monument signs
A monument with a message board. Garner prohibits flashing and rotating lights, so the display has to be set up with that in mind.

Garner sign questions
Do I need a permit for a sign in Garner?
Yes for any permanent sign. The Town of Garner requires a permit for all permanent signs and some temporary ones, and applications go through the Town's Permit and Inspection Portal. If you are unsure, the Planning Department asks you to call before the sign is made or installed.
My address says Garner but I am in Johnston County. Which rules apply?
The Town says properties with a Garner address that pay taxes to Johnston County are regulated by Johnston County. We confirm which one applies to your property before we design anything.
What signs are not allowed in Garner?
The Town prohibits signs above the roofline or on rooftops, flashing or rotating lights (time and temperature signs excepted), signs on utility poles, fences or benches, moving or fluttering signs such as banners, flags and balloons, off-premise signs, and vehicles or trailers parked as advertising.
Can I put graphics on my windows without a permit?
Glass door and window signs that cover no more than 30 percent of the glass are on the Town list of signs allowed without a permit, as long as clear areas leave safe visibility.
What about grand opening or sale banners?
Some temporary signs need a Temporary Sign Permit in Garner. It allows a sign for 30 days, up to 4 times a year, at no more than 32 square feet. Approved signs get a sticker, and unpermitted ones can be pulled.
