Port Orange, FL Sign Regulations: Window Signs (2026)

Port Orange's window-sign rule sits in Chapter 15, Section 11(13), 'Permanent signs,' and applies across the five sign districts the chapter establishes in Section 10: Residential (Res), Multi-family/Institutional (MF/I), Commercial (Comm), Mixed-Use (MXU) and the Ridgewood Corridor (RC). A window sign may be painted directly on the glass, attached to it, or placed within three feet of the inside of the window and still be visible from outside, and none of the five districts requires a sign permit for it.

The coverage cap is where the districts diverge sharply. A residential-zoned lot is capped at a flat 6 square feet of window signage regardless of how much glass the building has. Multi-family and institutional buildings get 10 percent of the tenant's total door and window area. Commercial, Mixed-Use and Ridgewood Corridor tenants get the most room: up to 50 percent of their total door and window area for signage. Illumination tightens the same way, from none allowed in Res, to internal lighting only in MF/I, to internal or neon lighting in Comm, MXU and RC. Because window signs run on their own allotment, they do not count against the separate maximum wall sign area a tenant is allowed elsewhere in the chapter, so a business can max out its wall signage and its window signage independently.
