How to Apply for a Sign Permit in the Town of Newmarket

Applying for a Newmarket sign permit is mandatory for any ground sign, fascia sign, projecting sign, or billboard installed on Town property. To obtain a sign permit in Newmarket, applicants must submit a complete permit package—including engineered drawings, a scaled site plan, NT Power clearance, and all required documents—directly to signs@newmarket.ca. The Town requires all drawings to be P.Eng-stamped and fully compliant with the Newmarket Sign By-law. MTO approval is also needed for any sign within 400 m of Highway 404. A Newmarket sign permit will not be issued unless the application form, fees, and technical documents are fully complete.
