Commercial real estate signs and banners, installed and removed in all 50 states.
For Lease, For Sale and Available signs and building banners for commercial property, with one project manager for every property on your list.
Say your leasing team picks up three listings in the same month. One is a vacant retail bay in Scottsdale, Ariz. Another is an office building in Hendersonville, Tenn., and the third is a land parcel two states away. Each needs a For Lease sign, and the two cities set different limits on sign size, banners and removal. Three markets usually means three sign shops, three sets of emails and three people to chase when a space leases.
Signavero puts the whole property list under one contact. Local installers we manage put up your For Lease, For Sale and Available signs and building banners at each property. They take them down when the space leases or the building sells. Your Signavero project manager handles every property on the list, and Signavero is responsible for quality and schedule.
Commercial listings in more than one market? Send the property list, one row per site, and we'll show you how each property will be covered.
Can one company install For Lease signs at properties in several states?
Yes. Signavero covers all 50 states through a network of local installers and print partners. Each property on your list gets a local installer near the site, and we vet every crew before we send it out. If the signs or banners need printing, a print partner makes them. One project manager handles all of it, from a city office building to a rural land parcel.
Who is this for?
- Commercial brokers and brokerage offices with office, retail, industrial or land listings in several markets.
- Landlords and owners with buildings or shopping centers in more than one state.
- Commercial real estate firms that want one sign vendor across their markets, not a different shop in each one.
When is a local sign shop the simpler choice?
When you have one sign in one town. A local sign shop that knows that city's sign code can make the sign and put it up. It can take the sign down when the space leases, too. That's the simplest route, and it holds for a portfolio that sits inside one metro.
Signavero is built for listings spread across many markets. It runs them the way it runs multi-location rollouts. Send the properties outside your home market, and they run as one program with one project manager.
What do you install and remove?
Signs and building banners for commercial listings, put up when the listing starts and taken down when it ends.
- For Lease, For Sale and Available signs for office, retail, industrial and land listings.
- Building banners for leasing and sale listings. See banners: solid vinyl, or mesh, which lets wind pass through and suits fences and windy sites.
- Printing through our print partners, as part of a print-and-install program. Already have the signs? A local installer can put up yours.
- Removal when the space leases or the property sells.
How does a commercial sign program run across markets?
It runs in four steps, with the same project manager from the first install to the last removal.
- You send the property list. One row per property, with the sign or banner it needs and its go-live date. The checklist below covers the columns.
- Each property gets local partners. An installer near the site, plus a print partner for any sign or banner that needs printing.
- Signs and banners go up. Your Signavero project manager handles every property, so you aren't calling a different shop in each city.
- They come down when the space leases or sells. Tell your project manager when a lease is signed or a sale closes. Removal runs through the same person who managed the install.
Signavero is responsible for quality and schedule at every property. Before you choose any sign vendor, see the questions to ask in the guide to how a real estate sign program runs.
What size, permit and placement rules apply to commercial signs?
The city's sign code sets them, and it usually covers size, height, count and placement, plus a separate permit rule for banners. Commercial signs are bigger than yard signs and stay up longer, so cities look at them closely. Here is how the two cities from the opening example handle the same questions.
| Rule | Scottsdale, Ariz. | Hendersonville, Tenn. |
|---|---|---|
| Sign size | 16 sq ft (32 sq ft along the Loop 101 frontage road or behind a scenic corridor easement) | 20 sq ft |
| Sign height | 5 ft (10 ft in those same locations) | 8 ft |
| How many signs | One per street frontage; lots over 1,200 ft wide get more, up to 6 | One per lot, or one per street frontage on a lot with more than one |
| Where signs go | On private property, out of the public right-of-way | Out of the public right-of-way and at least 12 ft from the edge of the pavement |
| Banner permit and time limit | A permit for every banner; 35 days in a row, with no extensions | A permit for every banner; 60 days a calendar year, in no more than four 15-day stretches |
| Where banners are allowed | Commercial zoning districts only | Not in office, residential or neighborhood commercial districts |
| Banner size | 1 sq ft per linear foot of building wall, up to 250 sq ft (lower in Service Residential zoning) | 40 sq ft |
What to check first, wherever the property is:
- Check the size before anything is printed. A 4 × 4 ft sign is 16 square feet, right at Scottsdale's standard limit. A 4 × 8 ft sign is 32 square feet. That's over Hendersonville's 20 and Scottsdale's standard 16, though Scottsdale allows 32 in the two locations shown in the table. A 4 × 12 ft banner is 48 square feet, over Hendersonville's 40.
- Check the zoning before you plan a banner. Zoning is the city's land-use category for each lot. In Hendersonville, the office building from the opening example can't carry a banner if it sits in an office district. A For Lease sign within the size limit carries that listing instead.
- Keep signs out of the right-of-way. The right-of-way is the strip of public land along a road, and it often reaches past the curb or sidewalk. Both cities keep real estate signs out of it.
- Call 811 before any digging. 811 is the national call-before-you-dig number. Before digging any post hole, call 811 (it's free) a few business days ahead; notice periods and exemptions vary by state. The state detail is in the real estate sign rules guide.
- Get the owner's OK in writing. Hendersonville requires the property owner's permission before a sign goes up. Get that permission in writing from the owner or landlord for every sign and banner, in every city.
Reviewed on October 13, 2026. Codes change, so confirm with the city's planning or zoning office before you order. For permit timing in general, see how long sign permits take and the state sign permit guides.
What can go wrong at a commercial property, and how is it handled?
Most problems at commercial sites start with a code limit, a locked gate or a missed date. These are the common ones, with the usual fix. The full list every sign program plans for is in the guide to how a real estate sign program runs.
| What goes wrong | Why it matters | How it's handled |
|---|---|---|
| The banner permit runs out before the space leases. | Scottsdale allows 35 days in a row with no extensions. Hendersonville allows 60 days a year. | Treat the banner as the launch and the sign as the long run. Put the banner's end date on the list, so its removal is planned with the install. |
| The sign is bigger than the local limit. | It puts the listing out of line with the code from the first day. | Check the size against the city's limit before printing, and note that limit on the row. |
| The zoning doesn't allow banners. | Hendersonville bars them in office, residential and neighborhood commercial districts. | Run the listing on a For Lease sign that fits the size limit. |
| A land parcel or pad site has no street address. | A pad site is a building lot at the edge of a shopping center. Without an address, the installer has no exact spot. | Add a parcel number or a map pin to the row, and say which road the sign should face. |
| The gate is locked or the wall is hard to reach. | Vacant buildings are often fenced, locked or alarmed. | Name the landlord or property manager who can arrange access, and note gate codes and building rules on the row. |
| The deal closes and nobody says so. | The sign keeps drawing calls about a space that's gone. Scottsdale wants it down within 7 days after marketing ends. | Name one person on your team who reports closings, and tell your project manager the day a deal closes. |
What do you need from us for a quote?
A spreadsheet with one row per property works best. Include as much of this as you have:
- Property address. One per site. For land and pad sites without a street number, add a parcel number (the county's ID for the lot) or a map pin. Say which road or entrance the sign should face.
- Sign or banner. For Lease, For Sale or Available; sign or building banner; the size; single- or double-sided; and how many per property.
- Mounting. For a sign, what's on the ground where it stands, such as lawn, landscaping, gravel or pavement. For a banner, the wall surface (brick, stucco, block or metal panel) or the fence it hangs on, and where it goes on the building.
- Site contact. The landlord or property manager who can arrange access and answer questions about the building. Add any building rules for contractors, such as work hours.
- Artwork. Print-ready files for each sign and banner, or a note that the finished signs already exist.
- Dates. The go-live date for each property, and the expected removal date or how long it will be marketed.
- Permits you already hold. The start and end dates of any banner or sign permit, so the install and removal fit inside them.
When does a commercial sign have to come down?
When the space leases or the property sells, or sooner if the city or a permit sets a date.
- Cities set deadlines. Scottsdale wants commercial for-sale and for-lease signs down within 7 days after marketing ends. Removal deadlines for homes are in the real estate sign rules guide.
- A banner permit can set the date for you. In Scottsdale, a banner comes down when its 35 days are up, leased or not. If the space is still on the market, the For Lease sign carries it from there.
- A sign left up after the lease is signed still draws calls. Prospects keep phoning about a space that's gone.
- Put a removal date on the list, even a rough one, and tell your project manager when the deal closes. The same contact handles every removal, in every market.

Questions people ask.
Will the sign come down when the space leases?
Yes. Removal is part of the service. Tell your project manager when the lease is signed or the sale closes. The sign or banner then comes down through the same person who handled the install.
Can you print the signs and banners, or only install them?
Both. Our print partners can make them as part of a print-and-install program, or a local installer can put up the ones you already have.
Does a commercial For Lease sign need a permit?
It depends on the city, the sign's size and where it goes. Building banners need a permit in both Scottsdale and Hendersonville. For a sign, check the city's sign code or ask its planning office. If you already hold a permit, send its dates with the property list, so the install and removal fit inside them.
How far ahead should we plan a building banner?
Far enough to have the permit in hand, but not so early that its clock runs down first. In Scottsdale, the 35 days start one day after the application is approved, not on the day the banner goes up. Time the application to the date you want the banner hanging, and put that date on the property list. Printing and any 811 notice period add lead time too, so send the list once the listing dates are set.
Do you do signs for homes too?
Yes. Yard and For Sale signs for homes run the same way, with one project manager. They have their own page: real estate sign installation and removal.
Leasing or selling in more than one market?
Send the property list with a go-live date on each row, and we'll quote the signs, banners and removals for every property on it.
