Q. SIGNS

Historic Preservation Commission · 2026-07-23 · agenda_item

The City of Fort Myers Historic Preservation Commission is reviewing applications for new signage within a Historic District. These signs are intended to enhance the district's historic character, often displaying the name and construction year of commercial buildings. The Commission evaluates proposed signs based on their dimensions, graphics, materials, colors, supports, and locations. All sign proposals must also comply with the City's Sign Ordinance. Businesses seeking to install or update signage should submit their proposals directly to the city for review. This process is currently under review, offering an early opportunity for businesses to engage with the Commission's requirements. The work would involve the design, fabrication, and installation of new signs, potentially including site preparation for supports and final mounting. Local contractors, suppliers, and service providers in signage, design, and installation can benefit from understanding these review criteria early, before final plans and permits are secured.
