1 Neighborhood Sign Program Specifications These specifications are also posted to the city s website at These specifications are written for the neighborhood HOA s to follow and are being supplied to you for quote purposes. The City of Carrollton has a program that permits neighborhood associations to apply for installation of neighborhood identification signs in their respected neighborhoods. These guidelines detail the requirements and procedures for sign design/approval, sign purchasing/fabrication and sign installation. The neighborhood association will be responsible for purchasing the signs from a company of their choice. Public Works approves the sign design only if it complies with all the requirements listed in the guidelines and installs the signs once they have been approved, purchased by the association and delivered to the City of Carrollton. Neighborhood Associations are requested to follow the guidelines carefully to ensure that their sign has been approved for installation before ordering and purchasing the signs. Design and Fabrication Guidelines Procedure Have the sign company design the neighborhood sign following the Sign Design Specifications listed on the following page. The sign company will likely charge the association for this design work. The sign design the association submits must include the sign color, font, shape, thickness, size and sheeting type. Once the sign design is complete, the association needs to have the sign company fabricate a copy of the completed sign design, and attach it with the neighborhood sign request form, and send it to Public Works Traffic Operations Division, 2711 Nimitz Lane, Carrollton, Texas for approval. Traffic Operations Division will review the request and send the association verification of the design approval. Traffic Operations Division will also verify how many signs the association will need for installation in compliance with the installation guidelines. After receiving approval of the sign request, the association should contact the sign company and order the signs. The neighborhood association is responsible for all costs associated with the design and fabrication of signs. These signs should be picked up by the association members or delivered to the association after they are fabricated. Once the association receives all signs, they should contact Traffic Operations Division to schedule the installation of their new neighborhood signs. Sign Design Specifications
