What Is a Monument Sign?

A monument sign is a freestanding sign on a solid base instead of poles. It sits low and wide, often clad in stone, brick or stucco to match your building. Shopping centers, office parks, apartment communities, schools and churches all use them.

Why Choose a Monument Sign

· Easy to read from the road, even at driving speed

· Works day and night with LED lighting

· Looks established, which builds trust

· Built to last, with little upkeep

· Flexible, with swappable tenant panels for multi-tenant sites

Materials, Lighting and Design

· Face: aluminum cabinets with acrylic faces, or dimensional letters on flat panels

· Base: stone, brick, stucco or powder-coated aluminum

· Lighting: internal LED, external ground lights, or halo-lit letters

· Tip: keep copy short and high-contrast so drivers can read it at a glance

Permits in Colorado Springs, Monument and Pueblo

You almost always need a permit, and the rules depend on where your property sits:

· Colorado Springs: a sign plan and permit are required before installation.

· Town of Monument: a permit from the Town is required, and a building permit may be too.

· Pueblo: follow the city's sign chapter.

· El Paso County: some Colorado Springs addresses fall under county rules, so check first.

Size, height and lighting limits vary by zoning district. We check your parcel, prepare the drawings and submit the permit for you.

What Does a Monument Sign Cost?

Every sign is custom. Price depends mainly on size and height, base material, lighting, and site work like concrete and electrical. For a real number, ask for a site visit and a written quote covering design, permit, fabrication and installation.
