Signs

The Town of Rolesville regulates the size, illumination, and placement of signs in Section 6.1 - Signs in the Land Development Ordinance. Regulations vary by zoning district and the class of sign.

These provisions ensure that signs are compatible with the Town’s character and do not create hazardous conditions for pedestrians, cyclists, or drivers.

For questions regarding signage, please contact Planner I, Tanner Hayslette at 984-251-2430 ext. 217 or thayslette@rolesvillenc.gov.

SIGN PERMITS

The Town of Rolesville issues two types of sign permits: permanent and temporary. All permit applications must include a rendering of the sign with its dimensions (length, height, and width), distance to the ground, distance to the adjacent business if on a multi-tenant building, color scheme with the number of colors, a site plan or aerial photograph that depicts the sign's placement, and proposed landscaping if applying for a monument sign.

  • Permanent signs can be freestanding or affixed to a building. All permanent signs require a building permit. To obtain a building permit, please visit our Permitting page.
  • Temporary signs require approval for banners, construction signs, special event signs, and temporary directional signs along State or Town roads and Granite Falls Boulevard. To obtain a temporary sign approval, please apply at GovWell.

Some signs do not require a permit, but their display must still comply with the guidelines listed in Section 6.1- Signs.
