Douglas County + Shea Properties
Sign Permitting in Highlands Ranch: Douglas County and Shea Properties Design Review
Highlands Ranch is unincorporated Douglas County. Sign permits run through Douglas County’s Building Department, there is no city permit office. Commercial properties in master-planned development areas also need Shea Properties’ design review, which governs sign character, materials, mounting, and illumination.
This is a two-layer process. We identify which layer applies to your specific address at project intake, not every Highlands Ranch property is subject to both, and manage whichever processes apply through completion.
Step 1
Douglas County Building Permit
Building permit through Douglas County Building Department, with structural engineering documentation for freestanding signs.
Step 2
Shea Properties Design Review
Compliance with the master developer design guidelines: sign character, materials, mounting, and illumination in commercial areas.
One Managed Process
We identify the applicable standards for your address at intake and build both layers into the project timeline from the start.
