billboard sign survey in Northeast Georgia
A Billboard Sign Survey provides the precise measurements and mapping required to install, relocate, or permit a new outdoor advertising structure. SPG Land Surveyors supports sign companies, outdoor advertising firms, property owners, developers, and attorneys across Athens and Northeast Georgia, ensuring every billboard location complies with state and local regulations.
What is a billboard sign survey?
A billboard sign survey documents the exact location and legal compliance of a proposed or existing sign. Most Georgia municipalities — as well as state DOT regulations — require surveys to confirm:
Setbacks from property lines and rights-of-way
Distance from other billboards or signage
Zoning classification and permissible sign use
Encroachments or easements
Utility and roadway clear zones
Elevation, visibility, and obstruction considerations
This survey provides both the measurements and the certified map required for permitting, engineering, or construction.
When Do You Need a Billboard Sign Survey?
You may need this service when:
Installing a new billboard
Relocating or upgrading an existing sign
Preparing a permit application for a city or county
Confirming GDOT spacing or setback requirements
Buying or leasing land for outdoor advertising
Ensuring compliance before sign construction
Outdoor signage laws can vary widely between counties, so having accurate documentation is essential.
