You found the perfect storefront. You know exactly the kind of sign you want. But before it can go up?
There’s paperwork—and a lot of it.
If you’ve never had to apply for a commercial sign permit on Long Island, you might be surprised how complex and time-consuming the process really is. Every town and village has its own set of rules, regulations, and zoning codes.
And if you’re not careful, delays and denials can cost you time, money—and visibility.
That’s where a commercial sign permit expeditor comes in.
At Valle Signs, we’ve helped hundreds of Nassau and Suffolk County businesses navigate local sign codes and get approvals without the headaches. Here’s why having an experienced expeditor isn’t just helpful—it’s essential.
What Is a Commercial Sign Permit Expeditor?
A commercial sign permit expeditor is someone who handles the paperwork, approvals, and compliance required to legally install signage on your commercial property. They act as your go-between with the town or city—ensuring everything gets filed properly, meets code, and avoids unnecessary delays.
Think of it like having a personal guide through the maze of municipal red tape.

Why It Matters (Especially on Long Island)
Long Island isn’t one-size-fits-all. What’s permitted in Huntington might not fly in Babylon. Is your sign internally illuminated? Mounted to a pole? Located in a historic district?
Each variable affects:
-
What documentation you need
-
How long approvals take
-
Whether your sign gets denied altogether
Mistakes can delay your grand opening or lead to costly fines. That’s why many business owners come to us after already hitting a roadblock. We’d rather help you before it gets that far.
The Benefits of Using a Commercial Sign Permit Expeditor
- Save Time: We know what paperwork is needed for each township—and we know who to talk to. That means faster approvals and fewer hold-ups.
- Avoid Mistakes: Submitting the wrong forms or missing a detail in your drawings can result in a denial. We double-check everything before it goes in.
- Stay Compliant: We keep up with the latest local code changes so your signage meets all size, lighting, and placement regulations.
- Less Stress: Let us deal with the municipality so you can stay focused on running your business.
