Provo, UT Sign Regulations: Window Signs (2026)

105 governs the Downtown zones: DT1, DT2, ITOD, GW, and WG. Subsection (7), Window Signs, is the only window-sign standard written into the entire chapter, and it permits signs to be placed on or inside the windows of a commercial establishment's first floor, subject to two hard limits. First, coverage: signs cannot cover more than twenty-five percent of the total window area of the first-floor facade on which they sit, a cap measured against the whole facade rather than any single pane. Second, orientation: window signs are only permitted in windows that directly face a public street, so signage in interior courtyards or on non-street-facing elevations does not qualify under this subsection.

025, which restrict on-premises electronic displays to specific commercial corridors and street frontages citywide. 010: erecting or maintaining a sign without a Building Inspection Division permit is a class C misdemeanor, and the Building Division may order a noncompliant sign corrected or removed within 30 days, with appeal rights to the zoning Board of Adjustment if the owner contests the order.
