Sign Permits

We've made a visual guide to help interpret Sign By-law 2018-153

Sign by-law 2018-153 (as amended) provides regulations of various sign types including elections signs, mobile signs, fascia signs and advertising signs.

A Sign By-law visual guide can assist with understanding the sign types included in the by-law. This guide contains photographs of various sign types that are defined and regulated in the Sign By-law.

NOTE: PDFs of by-laws available on this website are for information and reference only. For the most recent and up to date by-law information, please contact the Municipal Enforcement Services department at enforcement@oakville.ca. A consolidated by-law is one that includes some or all changes ("amendments") that have been made to it.
