Summary
Painting or stenciling a house or street address number on a curb in Santa Clarita requires a City permit and an annual fee. Municipal Code Chapter 13.82 sets insurance, color and size specifications for anyone in that business, though homeowners painting their own curb are exempt.
Every person who paints, stencils, or affixes, or causes to be painted, stenciled or affixed, any house or street address number on any curb or adjacent to any public street shall first procure a permit and pay an annual permit fee in the amount established by resolution of the City Council.
Full Breakdown
010 requires 'every person' who paints, stencils or affixes a house or street address number on a curb, or causes it to be done, to first procure a permit and pay an annual permit fee in the amount established by resolution of the City Council. 020(A) requires the permittee to carry public liability and property damage insurance naming the City as insured, with minimum coverage of $25,000 per person and $50,000 per accident for bodily injury and $5,000 per accident for property damage. 020(C) sets the physical specification: numerals must be black, no smaller than two and one-half inches and no taller than four inches, painted on a white background in first-quality paint.
020(B) bars a permittee from telling a resident that curb-number painting is required by any law, rule or regulation, since it is a voluntary service. 020(E) shields the City from liability for a permittee's work, including damage caused when a City contractor paints over or removes a number while installing traffic signs or repairing curbs. 030 exempts a person who paints, stencils or affixes numbers on the curb abutting their own property from needing this permit at all.
Violations & Fines
Painting, stenciling or affixing curb address numbers commercially without the Section 13.82.010 permit, or without the fee and insurance Section 13.82.020 requires, is enforceable as a Municipal Code violation, and misrepresenting the painting as legally required under Section 13.82.020(B) is itself a separate violation of that chapter. A homeowner painting only their own curb, however, is exempt under Section 13.82.030 and needs no permit.
