If you are a business owner or government official and are in need of detailed information on sign code regulations for multiple local jurisdictions let GovScan lend a hand. Instead of going from government website to website, hunting for often difficult to find sign code information, try doing a state specific search and type in terms such as “sign codes”, “sign regulations”, “banners”… (quotes often work best). For searching across the entire US use the search all local governments link.

Often government sites will have their sign code information in Adobe Acrobat (PDF) files, thus if you have yet to get Acrobat on your computer, consider downloading it.

One of the great things about GovScan’s targeted local government search is its ability to get information direct from the source. One area this information can be helpful is in looking for jobs in the government sector. Often times government entities will not publish openings on secondary job sites, thus here are some useful tips on finding local government job openings with GovScan.

Use the following keywords after the title of desired employment: job, position, opening

Example searches: GIS job, GIS position, or GIS opening; Planner job, Planner position, Planner opening; (for job titles with more than one word use quotations around the title) “part time librarian” job, “part time librarian” position, “part time librarian” opening.
