2. Free Standing, i.e., a “ground sign” that is independent of another structure.

June 18, 2026 Local Planning Agency Meeting · 2026-06-18 · agenda_item

This item concerns proposed changes to temporary sign allowances within the City of Destin. The proposed amendments would update regulations for free-standing and attached signs, specifying maximum square footage, individual sign size, and height limits based on different zoning districts, including Residential, Mixed Use, and Commercial zones. These changes are currently under review by the Local Planning Agency. If approved, the updates would affect how temporary signage is permitted across various commercial and non-commercial applications. This could create opportunities for businesses involved in sign design, fabrication, and installation. Engaging with the city early in this review process allows contractors and suppliers to understand potential future needs before final plans and permits are issued.
