Electrical Signs Permits and Construction

[underdog69]

If my corp has an ER license in Florida can I install an electrical pylon sign? I have 15 years in the sign and electrical trades but until now I never needed to know. Will I need a sign specialty license? I don't think I do, license holder is not sure.


I love the site BTW.

Florida does have a seperate license for sign work. ER is for your registered license, which I believe allows you to do sign work in the jurisdiction that you hold in. I would confirm this with your building dept.

Yes, an ER is permitted to perform sign specialty work. This is stated in the F.S. and F.A.C.

Go here to see the scope of work each license is permitted to perform:

Per this chart, and ER can perform work under the specialty 61G6-7 code:


61G6-7.001 Specialty Electrical Contractors.

(2) Sign Specialty Electrical Contractor. The scope of certification includes the structural fabrication including concrete foundation, erection, installation, alteration, repair, service and wiring of electrical signs and outline lighting. The scope of certification shall not include the provision of, or any electrical work beyond, the last disconnect mean or terminal points. However, a contractor certified under this section may provide the electrical entrance requirements for metering and main disconnect of remote billboards or signs which are independent of any structure or building and which require no more than twenty-five (25) kilowatts at two hundred fifty (250) volts maximum.
