Have a question? We’re here to help.
While the permit is issued by the D.C. Department of Buildings (DOB), if your business is located near major federal parks or buildings, it falls under the Shipstead-Luce Act. This means your design must be reviewed and approved by the U.S. Commission of Fine Arts (CFA). We specialize in preparing the scaled elevations and material samples required for CFA “Concept” and “Final” reviews.
Georgetown is governed by the Old Georgetown Act. All exterior signage—including window decals larger than one square foot—must be approved by the Old Georgetown Board (OGB). They strictly enforce a “traditional” aesthetic, favoring non-illuminated or halo-lit metal, wood, and stone over plastic lightboxes.
Regulations for the “Downtown Sign Center” and historic zones are very strict. In most D.C. wards, any sign within 18 inches of a window that is legible from the street is considered an exterior sign and requires a permit. Moving or flashing digital displays are largely prohibited in historic districts to maintain the city’s architectural integrity.
Given our humid subtropical climate, we recommend 316-grade stainless steel or powder-coated marine-grade aluminum. These materials resist the “pitting” and rust common in D.C. storefronts. For a classic look that meets historic board approval, we often use High-Density Urethane (HDU), which looks like carved wood but won’t warp or rot in the Potomac humidity.
In 2026, the District Department of Transportation (DDOT) requires a Public Space Permit for all A-frames. Your sign must leave at least a 6-foot clear path for pedestrians to comply with the ADA. We provide weighted, high-wind-rated A-frames that meet these specific “clearance” codes for high-traffic areas like Adams Morgan and Navy Yard.
Yes! With the 2026 Streatery Program Rulemaking, outdoor dining signage must be integrated into the barrier design and cannot exceed specific height limits to maintain sightlines. We design custom, branded “Streatery” kits that are both DOB-compliant and durable enough for street-side use.
BlinkSigns is ready to help bring your brand to life in Washington D.C. City.
