From the semiconductor campuses of North San Jose and the luxury retail of Santana Row to the healthcare corridors of Alum Rock and the convention facilities of Downtown, Silicon Valley organizations bring United Signs in when a project requires Title 23 worksheet expertise, California PE-sealed engineering, seismic-rated installation, and a permit team that moves at the pace the Bay Area demands.

Sign permits in San Jose are issued by the City's Planning Division and submitted through the SJPermits.org online portal. United Signs prepares all required documentation and manages the full review process on every project. n
San Jose assigns sign permits by zone. Commercial and industrial properties use one worksheet, residential and open space zones use another, and Downtown properties have their own separate requirements. We confirm your zone and the correct application type at the start of every project. n
Standard commercial properties allow up to 300 square feet of total sign area, with ground signs permitted up to 25 feet in height. Digital displays must stay within city brightness limits after dark, and flashing or animated content is not permitted. We review your specific allowances before any design work begins. n
Yes. All structural sign installations are engineered to California seismic and wind load requirements. Interior ADA signs meet federal accessibility standards covering tactile characters, braille, mounting heights, and visual contrast. n
Yes. Downtown San Jose properties follow a separate set of sign requirements from standard commercial zones. The Downtown area also allows supergraphic signs under specific conditions tied to large events at venues like SAP Center and the San Jose Convention Center. We identify downtown applicability at the initial site review on every project. n
We serve the full city of San Jose, incorporated cities across Santa Clara County, and the broader Bay Area, including communities in Alameda, San Mateo, and Contra Costa Counties.
