The City of Destin is undertaking a comprehensive update and rewrite of its Land Development Code, specifically focusing on sign regulations. This effort involves renumbering and renaming Article 16 to a new Article 8, titled "Sign Regulations." The proposed changes aim to modernize development standards, improve usability, and ensure consistency with state and federal laws. The Local Planning Agency has reviewed and recommended the ordinance, and it is currently under review by the City Council. This process will lead to new rules for all types of signs, including permanent, temporary, and prohibited signs, as well as regulations for digital and electronic displays. Businesses involved in sign manufacturing, installation, and related services, as well as those needing permits for new signage, should monitor this process. Engaging with the city early, before final permits and regulations are set, offers an advantage in understanding and complying with the updated requirements.
