Colorado Springs, CO Sign Regulations: Window Signs (2026)

B, sets the standards for Minor Sign Types available to civic, commercial, industrial, office and residential uses without a Development Plan process of their own. The Window Signs row limits size to '25% of the window(s),' with no maximum number specified, no permit required, and no separate height or setback standard: because the sign is confined to the glass itself, those dimensional limits don't apply the way they would to a freestanding or wall sign. The table's Additional Standards column adds two operative rules: window signage is 'Prohibited above ground level,' meaning a second-story or upper-floor window can't carry sign content even though a ground-floor window can, and 'Lighting permitted,' so an internally or externally lit window sign is allowed without triggering the Code's general sign-lighting restrictions.

1312 (Sign Allocation), and a business can combine a compliant window sign with other permitted sign types on the same site. The 25% cap is measured against the window or windows the sign is displayed in, not the building façade as a whole.
