What Is a Monument Sign?

A freestanding sign at the property entrance, typically 4-8 feet tall, built from durable materials (stone, brick, concrete, aluminum, or combinations). Monument signs identify the property and often list tenants.

Types of Monument Signs

Brick/Stone — Classic, permanent, institutional. Common for medical offices, churches, schools.

Aluminum/Steel — Modern, clean lines. Powder-coated for durability. Common for tech companies, corporate parks.

Monument with Tenant Panels — Lists multiple businesses. Common in strip malls, office parks.

Illuminated Monument — Internal LED lighting. Visible at night. Common for retail, restaurants.

Digital/LED Monument — Changeable message displays. Common for churches, schools, community centers.

Monument Sign Design Factors

Zoning: Local regulations control height, size, setback, lighting
Visibility: How far from the road? What’s the speed limit?
Traffic flow: Which direction do most drivers approach?
Existing architecture: Sign should complement the building
Maintenance: Who changes tenant panels? How often?

Permit Process

Monument signs require permits in almost every jurisdiction. We handle: site survey, design drawings, engineering calculations, permit application, variance requests if needed, and installation.
