Aurora Sign Company — Design, Permitting & Installation

Radiance Signage plans, permits, and installs commercial signage for businesses across Aurora — retail and restaurant tenants, medical and dental practices, office and flex properties, and property managers running multi-tenant buildings.

We are a service-area business. We come to your property for the survey, manage design and permitting from there, and supervise the install on site.

Where we work in Aurora

Original Aurora and East Colfax, the Anschutz Medical Campus area and Fitzsimons, Southlands and the E-470 corridor, Aurora City Place and the I-225 corridor, Buckley-area business districts, and the office and light-industrial parks along Havana and Peoria.

What Aurora businesses ask us for most

• Medical and dental signage — building ID, suite identification, and ADA-compliant room signage for practices around Anschutz and the surrounding medical corridors.
• Storefront and building signs — channel letters and storefront signage for retail and restaurant tenants.
• Monument and tenant panels — monument signs and panel replacement programs for multi-tenant retail centers and office parks.
• Wayfinding and parking — wayfinding systems and parking signage for larger campuses and shared lots.
• Fleet graphics — vehicle and fleet graphics for contractors and service businesses based on the east side of the metro.

Aurora permitting and installation considerations

Aurora issues its own sign permits through its Building Division and applies its own sign code — it is a separate jurisdiction from Denver, and a design that clears one will not automatically clear the other.

A few Aurora specifics that shape the design before it is drawn:

• Permitted sign types are limited. For commercial, industrial, and institutional use, Aurora allows wall, projecting blade, monument, and window signs. If your concept is something else, it needs rethinking or a waiver.
• There is a cap on how many signs you get. A total of five permanent signs per business, unless a waiver has been granted or a different allowance is specified on the site plan.
• Approvals come attached to the submittal. Sign permit submittals require landlord approval or Design Review Committee approval — so the property’s sign-off is part of the application, not something to sort out afterwards.
• Taller monuments need engineering. Structural engineered plans are required for monument signs over seven feet.

Illuminated signs also require electrical permitting, and parts of the city sit under Buckley Space Force Base height and airport-influence considerations, which can matter for tall freestanding signage. Rules change — we confirm current requirements with the Permit Center on every project rather than working from memory.

For an Aurora project this means:

1. Confirm the jurisdiction first. Addresses near the Denver and Arapahoe/Adams county lines are not always where people assume. We verify before drawing anything.
2. Retail-center criteria drive the design. Aurora’s larger centers typically publish tenant sign criteria that dictate letter height, illumination type, and raceway treatment.
3. Medical work runs on the tenant-improvement clock. For practices, the sign schedule needs to track the TI schedule so ADA and suite signage are in place for occupancy.
