Winnebago County, WI Sign Regulations: Window Signs (2026)

Chapter 23's sign article exempts banner, wall, and window signs from the zoning permit requirement, but only within commercial, mixed-use, and industrial zoning districts: the exemption doesn't extend to residential or agricultural districts, where window signage instead falls under the specific-use sign types in Table 12-1 (e.g., a 6-square-foot cap for a home-occupation or bed-and-breakfast window sign). The county code sets no general percentage cap on how much of a storefront window a sign may cover; Ch. 23's real limit on a covered-district window sign is the general sign standards of § 23.12-5, not a coverage ratio.
