What Types of Business Monument Signs Does AGS Offer?
Choosing the right style depends on your property type, tenant mix, and local zoning rules. Advantage Graphics & Signs builds all major monument sign categories, including commercial monument signs, for Atlanta-area clients.
Single-Tenant Monument Signs
A single-tenant monument sign is a permanent, ground-level structure displaying one business identity. These are common for law firms, medical offices, banks, and standalone retail locations throughout Buckhead, Midtown, and Dunwoody.
Multi-Tenant Monument Signs
Multi-tenant monument signs display multiple business names or suite identifiers on a shared structure. This format is widely used in Perimeter Center office parks, Sandy Springs medical campuses, and mixed-use corridors near GA-400. Changeable tenant panels allow listings to be updated as tenants rotate without replacing the entire structure.
Illuminated Monument Signs
Illuminated monument signs extend visibility into evening hours. Options include internally lit cabinet faces, LED push-through lettering, and backlit halo effects. If you need a full LED display integrated into the base, explore LED digital signs as a complementary option.
Masonry and Monument Sign Bases
Stone, brick, and stucco bases give a monument sign a premium, architectural feel and hold up well in metro Atlanta's humidity and heat cycles. Paired with dimensional lettering or
cast metal signs, a masonry base can anchor a property entrance for decades. Monument signs are also available for apartment communities and HOA properties. See the related
neighborhood sign and
apartment complex sign pages for those project types.
How Does Atlanta-Area Permitting Affect Your Monument Sign Project?
Monument sign permitting in metro Atlanta varies by jurisdiction. Properties within the City of Atlanta file with the City's Office of Buildings. Unincorporated Fulton County falls under Article 33 of the Fulton County Zoning Resolution, requiring owner authorization, a scaled site plan, and setback compliance. DeKalb County regulates signs under Chapter 21 of its Code of Ordinances, and all electronic signs require a separate electrical permit. Municipalities like Sandy Springs, Alpharetta, Dunwoody, and Chamblee each maintain their own sign ordinances.
Height is typically restricted to 6 to 12 feet depending on zoning district and road classification, and signs must generally be set back behind required landscape strips along the right-of-way.
AGS handles permitting as a core service across City of Atlanta, DeKalb, Fulton, Gwinnett, Cobb, and surrounding jurisdictions. Learn more at the

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I Need a Permit for a Business Monument Sign in Atlanta?
Yes. Most permanent monument signs require a permit. The authority depends on whether your property is within the City of Atlanta, unincorporated Fulton or DeKalb County, or an independent municipality.
What Is the Difference Between a Single-Tenant and Multi-Tenant Monument Sign?
A single-tenant sign displays one business identity. A multi-tenant sign accommodates multiple businesses on one structure, often with changeable panels practical for office parks and retail centers where tenants change over time.
Can My Monument Sign Be Illuminated?
Yes. Options include internal lighting, LED lettering, and backlit elements. Illuminated monuments require an electrical permit in most Atlanta-area jurisdictions. AGS coordinates electrical permitting when illumination is included.
How Long Does a Monument Sign Project Take?
Timelines vary based on design complexity, material lead times, and permitting review periods. Permit review alone can add several weeks.
Does AGS Serve Areas Outside the City of Atlanta?
Yes. Advantage Graphics & Signs serves Sandy Springs, Alpharetta, Dunwoody, Norcross, Marietta, Decatur, and surrounding communities. Visit the custom commercial signs for Sandy Springs and custom commercial signs for Alpharetta pages for location-specific information.
