The Regional District of Central Okanagan Bylaw No. 885 regulates the use of signs.

The Sign Bylaw was enacted to protect the visual appearance of lands and buildings from the effects of signs that may be inappropriate as to size or location and to allow signage to the extent permitted in the bylaw.

It is enforced by complaint and applies only to the Electoral Areas of the Regional District.

A Building Permit is required for Free Standing signs and Projecting signs. You may download a copy of the Building Permit application form on the preceding link.
