Sign Permits

Sign, sign, everywhere a sign! Kimberley has great scenery – so the City of Kimberley maintains guidelines to make sure that signs complement it, not block it out. If you’re constructing, placing, erecting, displaying, painting, altering, repairing, or relocating a sign in Kimberley, you’ll need to obtain a permit. Signage in Kimberley should:

  • Identify individual establishments with signage that contributes to the character and interest of both the businesses and the town.
  • Be primarily orientated towards pedestrians and slow-moving traffic.
  • Encourage refinement, variety and creativity in signage without clutter.
  • Not be the most dominant visual element of the town’s commercial areas.
