Clayton County, GA Sign Regulations: Window Signs (2026)

Sec. 77 of the Zoning Ordinance sets the sign standards for the East-West Corridor Overlay District, which runs along Highway 138, Walt Stephens Road, Jodeco Road and Noah's Ark Road, and it modifies the countywide Sign Regulations of Article 8 for that corridor. For individual uses in the OI, UV and GB districts, subsection C caps ground signs at one double-faced sign per lot with no single face over 36 square feet and a combined maximum of 72 square feet, plus an 8-foot height limit; window signs are separately limited under item 2 to no more than 10 percent of the area of windows facing road frontage; wall or canopy signs are capped at three per lot and 10 percent of the front façade or 200 square feet, whichever is less; and entrance signs are not permitted at all for individual uses.

The same 10-percent window-sign cap carries over to planned centers under subsection D, so a shopping center anchor and a standalone retail pad in the corridor face the identical window-coverage limit. Roof signs, portable signs, internally illuminated signs, electronic multiple message signs, and moving signs of any kind are separately barred on MX-zoned property and on the stretch between Jonesboro's boundary and Henry County's line under subsection B. Applications for window signage in the corridor go through the Department of Community Development alongside the standard sign permit process.
