Summary

Temporary window signs in the Town of Parker are capped at whichever is less: 25 percent of a storefront's aggregate window area, or 150 square feet, for any single occupant of a parcel, and Table 13.09.B sets no time limit on how long they can stay up. Window signs under six square feet skip Sign Code review entirely under Section 13.09.020(c)(12).

Full Breakdown

Section 13.09.040(e)(1) folds window signs into the Table 13.09.B schedule that governs temporary signage on developed parcels, and the Window row sets the coverage rule apart from every other sign type on that table: the limit is calculated as a percentage of window area rather than a flat square footage. A single occupant of a parcel, such as one storefront in a multi-tenant retail center, may cover up to 25 percent of its aggregate window area with temporary signage, or 150 square feet, whichever number is smaller.

Unlike banners, freestanding signs, sandwich boards, and construction signage, which all carry a display-duration limit in that same table, the Window row lists None for duration, so a compliant window sign can stay up indefinitely without triggering the ninety-day cycle that applies to freestanding temporary signs. Separately, Section 13.09.020(c)(12) exempts any window sign under six square feet from the Sign Code altogether, meaning small paper notices or hour-of-operation signs never need to be measured against the 25-percent/150-square-foot cap or registered under Section 13.03.040(o). Once a tenant's window signage crosses that six-square-foot threshold, however, it counts toward the aggregate limit and must be registered like any other temporary sign, calculated per occupant so that neighboring tenants sharing one storefront each get their own allowance rather than splitting a single parcel-wide cap.

Violations & Fines

Window signage that covers more than 25 percent of a single occupant's aggregate window area, or exceeds 150 square feet, is out of compliance with Table 13.09.B and can be ordered reduced or removed by the Community Development Department; unregistered signage above the six-square-foot exemption threshold in Section 13.09.020(c)(12) is treated the same way.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much of my storefront window can I cover with signs in Parker?
Up to whichever is smaller: 25 percent of your aggregate window area, or 150 square feet, calculated per occupant under Table 13.09.B of Section 13.09.040. A multi-tenant building gives each storefront its own allowance rather than sharing one parcel-wide limit.
Do small window signs need a permit in Parker?
No. Section 13.09.020(c)(12) exempts any window sign under six square feet from Sign Code review and registration entirely. Once signage in a window exceeds six square feet, it counts toward the 25-percent/150-square-foot cap and must be registered under Section 13.03.040(o).
Is there a time limit on temporary window signs in Parker?
No. Table 13.09.B lists the display duration for window signs as None, unlike banners, freestanding signs, and sandwich boards, which all carry set day limits, so a compliant window sign can stay up indefinitely.
