Westminster, CO Sign Regulations: Window Signs (2026)

" The definition reaches further than glass alone: it includes any sign mounted within three feet of a window and oriented so it is visible from outside, and any wrap or film that reduces the window's transparency, though a curtain wall or window wall is not treated as a window for this purpose. Table 11-11-10-5, Standards for Window Signs, applies identically across every land use category in the city (Residential Low and Medium Intensity, Office/Transition, Commercial, Mixed Use, Employment, and Industrial Flex): window signs are permitted outright, no sign permit is required, and there is no cap on the number of window signs per building or per street frontage.

" The table also bars digital window signs outright across every category, while internal illumination is allowed only in the Office/Transition, Commercial, Mixed Use, Employment and Industrial Flex categories, not in the two residential categories. Because window signs are exempt from the Chapter's sign-permit process under § 11-11-6, a business can change window signage without City review as long as it stays under the 30 percent coverage cap and does not use prohibited digital displays.
