Sign Ordinance

The online Customer Self-Service Portal (CSS) allows customers to submit applications and make Visa/Mastercard payments electronically.  Starting August 22, 2024, there will be a 3.55% service fee for debit/credit cards with a $2.50 minimum, or a $1.50 service fee for electronic checks charged by a third-party company to cover the cost of this convenient and secure payment service.

The Forsyth County Sign Ordinance seeks to promote and ensure the aesthetics of the county and help communities maintain their scenic heritage and unique character. Regulations encourage creative and well-designed signs that contribute in a positive way to the county's visual environment and are in the interest of businesses as they avoid instances of diminishing return where individual business signs are not adequately visible due to unregulated competition.
