Bentonville, AR Sign Guidelines*: 

*NOT LEGAL DESCRIPTION. CLICK HERE FOR CITY CODE

Window and door signs do not require sign permits and can take up to 40% of the window or door area. This would be 40% of the same window, or if a building or suite has multiple windows on one side, 40% of total coverage for windows per building side. For example, 4 of 10 windows could be covered on the same building side or 40% of each window, however you choose to distribute it.

Most holiday/landscape/scenic window art would not fall under the definition of signage as long as the business is not directly linked to the holiday and would not need to follow the 40% window signage rule. If you write "For Sale" or advertise the business in any way, that would also be considered signage and would need to follow the 40% window sign regulations.

Sign means any words, lettering, parts of letters, figures, numerals, phrases, sentences, emblems, devices, designs, pictures, trade names or trademarks by which anything is made known such as are used to designate an individual, an establishment, a commodity, a firm, an association, a corporation, a profession, a business, a service, or a product, which are visible from any public street or right-of-way and designed to attract attention. "For Sale" and "For Rent" signs shall be deemed signs within the meaning of this definition. Includes any cloth, card, paper, metal, painted, glass, wooden, plastic, plaster, stone sign or other sign, device or structure of any character whatsoever including billboards and statuary, placed for outdoor advertising purposes on the ground or any tree, wall, bush, rock, post, fence, building or structure. The term "placed" shall include erecting, constructing, posting, painting, tacking, nailing, gluing, sticking, carving or otherwise fastening, affixing, or making visible in any manner whatsoever. The area of an advertising structure other than a sign shall be determined as the area of the largest cross-section of such structure. Neither directional, warning or other signs posted by public officials in the course of their public duties, nor merchandise or materials being offered for sale shall be construed as advertising signs for the purpose of this Article. Artwork that does not identify a commercial business, establishment, product or service and is not thematically linked to a commercial business, establishment, product or service, is not considered a sign under this definition.
