Permanent Sign Application Process:
- Complete the Application: Fill out the appropriate permanent sign application form.
- Submit Application and Plans: Email the completed application and supporting plans to info@edgewood-fl.gov.
- Pay Required Fees: Submit a $100 non-refundable application fee and a $750 pass-through deposit* prior to review.
- City Review: City staff will review your application and provide you with either revisions or zoning approval.
- Orange County Submission: Upon receiving zoning approval, submit your sign application and plans to Orange County through their Fast Track system for building permits and inspections.
- Project Completion and Refund: Once you receive a Certificate of Completion from Orange County, please notify us. We will close out the project and refund any remaining balance in your project account.
*Understanding Pass-Through Fees: When submitting development applications to the City of Edgewood, including permanent sign applications, site plans, rezoning requests, and subdivision plats, you will be required to pay pass-through fees. These fees cover the costs of reviews and inspections conducted by our external consultants, such as engineers, planners, and attorneys.
How Pass-Through Fees Work:
- Application and Initial Deposit:
- A non-refundable application fee and an initial pass-through deposit are required.
- This deposit establishes a project account for your application.
- Consultant Reviews:
- Our consultants will invoice the City for their time and expenses as they review your application.
- These costs are then passed through to you, the applicant.
- Project Account and Invoicing:
- Your project account tracks all consultant costs.
- The City will send you invoices for these expenses.
- Additional deposits will be required if the initial deposit is insufficient.
- Final Inspection and Refund:
- A final inspection may be required, and its cost will be charged to your project account.
- Any remaining balance in your project account will be refunded upon project completion.
- Important Points:
- Failure to pay invoices may result in project delays or liens on your property.
- The City's application fee covers internal administrative costs, not consultant fees.
- You have the right to appeal any invoice you believe is incorrect.
