Land Use Notice Signs FAQ
(For Architects, Designers, and Development Teams)
What is a land use notice sign?
A land use notice sign is a required public notice sign posted at a project site to inform the public of a proposed development, zoning change, or land use action. In Seattle, these signs are typically required by SDCI (formerly DPD) as part of the permitting and review process.
Who is responsible for providing the land use notice sign?
In most cases, architectural firms or land-use consultants coordinate the production of land use notice signs on behalf of the property owner or developer. We regularly work directly with architects to fabricate these signs quickly and to required specifications.
What size does a Seattle land use notice sign need to be?
Seattle land use notice signs are commonly required to be large-format site signs, often around 4’ x 8’, though requirements can vary depending on the project and notice type. We recommend confirming size requirements from SDCI before production — or sending us the notice document and we’ll review it with you.
What material are land use notice signs printed on?
Most land use notice signs are produced on rigid, weather-resistant substrates, such as:
-
Coroplast (corrugated plastic)
-
ACM / aluminum composite panels (for longer display periods)
Material choice depends on how long the sign must remain posted and site exposure conditions.
Are your land use notice signs weatherproof?
Yes. All land use notice signs we produce are designed for outdoor use in Seattle weather, including rain and wind. UV printing and outdoor-rated materials ensure readability for the full posting period.
Do you print from the official SDCI notice document?
Yes. Architects typically send us the official land use notice PDF provided by the City. We print directly from that file and can scale it to the required sign size while maintaining legibility and layout.
Can you meet short deadlines for posting requirements?
Yes — land use notice signs are often time-sensitive. We regularly handle rush production for architects who need signs printed quickly to meet posting deadlines.
If timing is tight, let us know the required posting date and we’ll confirm turnaround options.
Do you install land use notice signs on-site?
We can provide installation services depending on site access and requirements. In many cases, architects or contractors handle installation, but we’re happy to coordinate if installation support is needed.
Do you handle multiple signs for a single project?
Yes. Some projects require multiple land use notice signs to be posted around a site perimeter. We can produce matching sets and ensure consistency across all signs.
How long do land use notice signs last outdoors?
For short-term postings, coroplast signs typically perform well for the required notice period. For longer timelines or exposed sites, we recommend ACM panels for increased rigidity and durability.
Can you reprint or replace a damaged land use notice sign?
Yes. If a sign is damaged, removed, or vandalized during the posting period, we can quickly reprint replacements to help keep the project compliant.
What file formats do you need to print land use notice signs?
PDF files are ideal. Most architects send the official city-issued notice PDF, which works perfectly for large-format printing. No design work is typically required.
Do you work directly with architecture firms?
Yes — we regularly work with Seattle-area architectural firms and land-use professionals. Our process is straightforward, fast, and designed to reduce administrative friction during permitting.
