The Houston Sign Code was originally adopted in May 1980 and revised in December 2006. The Sign Code provides standards for the use, quality, construction and location of advertising signs throughout the city. The Code also regulates off-premises signs (also known as billboards) in the city, as well as extraterritorial jurisdiction (ETJ). The height, size, and lighting of signs are determined by the category of the street from which the sign will be viewed.
