Sign permit
You may require a sign permit if you are planning to erect or alter a sign or advertising device (for example, billboard or digital display) on a property within 400 metres of any provincial highway right-of-way. Setback (distance from the right-of-way limit), size and location are all considered when issuing sign permits.
