## How is the square footage of a sign calculated?

- [Tweet](https://twitter.com/share)

The SIGN AREA is calculated by the height x width of the smallest rectangle area that encompasses the copy, logo, insignia, symbol, photograph, background and border of a sign. In the case of a back-to-back or double-faced sign, commonly only one side of the sign is counted but should be verified with the district in which the business resides.
