Currently the City sign code does not require to pull permits, however it does prevent you from placing in a city right-of-way. Be careful placing signs in the grassy strip between the street and sidewalk. But usually they are a part of the right-of-way, so check before placing.
Example areas in right-of-way:
- 7th Street South of Harrison
- Behind the Goodwill on 5th Street
