About each permit
Sign Permit
Priced by area rather than by type: $2.50 a square foot with a $50 floor, so a 40 square foot monument sign is $100 and a 200 square foot pylon $500. That makes New Braunfels cheap for small signage and expensive for large, the opposite of the flat rates most cities here use. A temporary on-premises banner is $50. The number to avoid is $750, which buys an alternative sign plan or a sign variance — worth more than most sign permits, so design within the ordinance if you can.
Special Use Permit
$1,500 plus $100 an acre to a $4,000 ceiling, plus $52 for the mail notification and $15 for each case sign. That is the dearest special use permit in this dataset — more than double Prosper's $700 base — so establishing early whether your use needs one is worth real money. A zoning verification letter at $100 is the cheap way to find out, and a home occupation certification is $25. If the answer is rezoning instead, a zoning change is $1,000 plus $100 an acre capped at $3,000.
