Doral, FL Sign Regulations: Freeway-Facing Signs (2026)

Section 80-303 lists the conditions a permit applicant must meet before the city will approve an off-premises billboard. The sign must be adjacent to the right-of-way of a limited access highway, specifically State Road 826 (Palmetto Expressway), State Road 836 (Dolphin Expressway), or the Florida Turnpike, and every billboard on those roads must be located within 150 feet of the highway edge and oriented solely to advertise to the traveling public on that highway. The section then bars billboards near five designated gateway intersections, including Palmetto Expressway at NW 25th Street and NW 36th Street and the Florida Turnpike at NW 41st Street, measuring 1,000 feet in each direction from the crossroads centerline, and near five more gateways along the Dolphin Expressway and Palmetto Expressway interchange, measuring 500 feet.

Billboards also cannot sit within 200 feet of a historic site, within 500 feet of a residentially platted lot, or on the north side of NW 12th Street facing the Dolphin Expressway. The property owner must consent in writing, the parcel must be zoned commercial, industrial, institutional or private parks, and Section 80-304 separately requires 1,000 feet of spacing from any other permitted billboard on the same side of the highway, with no more than three billboards allowed between any two gateways or interchanges. Section 80-312 caps the citywide total at 13 off-premises billboard permits on a one-for-one replacement basis once that cap is reached.
