Signs

Sign regulations are an important aspect of the City of Murray’s Zoning
Ordinance. The intent of the sign ordinance is to enhance the beauty of Murray
and to help businesses maximize exposure without creating a nuisance to public
safety and the aesthetics of the city.
There are many variables relating to the size and
location of a sign. Road frontage, the square footage of the building’s face,
setbacks, line of sight for traffic at intersections, height and type of sign
are all issues which must be considered before a sign permit can be issued and a
sign erected or altered. Planning & Engineering staff will assist you in the
sign permit application process. Please call Planning & Engineering at
270-762-0330 or stop by the Planning office in City Hall if you would like to
erect or replace a sign.
The details on sign regulations can be viewed in this portion of the zoning
ordinance. Some of the topics in this section of the zoning ordinance are:
∙ Intent of sign regulations
