Full Breakdown
Temporary window signs are exempt from Rockwall's sign permit requirement, but only if they stay small. City code caps coverage at 25 percent of the total window area on which the sign is placed. Go over that threshold and the display no longer qualifies as an exempt temporary window sign, exposing it to the full permit and application process under chapter 32, including scaled drawings, a site plan, and a $75 fee.
Violations & Fines
Sign inspector can order removal or correction; oversized window signs treated as unpermitted signs subject to permit fees and code enforcement.
