In Decatur, exterior signs are governed by local ordinances set by the Building Department. Businesses are required to comply with regulations covering:
Sign height, size, and illumination
Zoning restrictions
Maintenance requirements
Permit approvals for new or modified signs
We understand the local codes under Sections 25-70 through 25-84 of the Decatur Code of Ordinances and make sure your signage meets all requirements before installation. You can focus on running your business—we’ll take care of compliance.

1. Consultation and Design:
We start by learning about your business, location, branding goals, and signage needs. Our design team works with you to create a custom exterior sign that aligns with your style, visibility requirements, and local code compliance.
2. Precision Fabrication:
Using top-grade materials and state-of-the-art equipment, we fabricate your sign with attention to durability and weather resistance. Whether it’s channel letters, monument signs, or post-and-panel signs, every detail is built to last.
3. Finishing and Customization:
We apply custom finishes such as premium paints, vinyl graphics, LED illumination, or powder coating to match your branding and enhance visibility day or night.
4. Professional Installation:
The Bilt Signs team ensures your sign is installed safely and securely, following local Decatur sign ordinances and zoning codes for placement, height, and lighting.
Before selecting lit sign letters, it’s important to note that an electrical junction is required behind the wall or in the ceiling above to power the LEDs. We provide the necessary power supply (transformer), but adequate access in the wall and ceiling will be needed for wiring. Lighting can significantly increase both the cost of the letters and the installation. For more details on installation, refer to our FAQ and installation guides.
Lit Channel letters can also be mounted on panels, which simplifies installation when accessing wiring is challenging or the wall surface is unsuitable. This method allows you to connect the entire setup to a single electrical junction for easier installation and a cleaner look.
