Grant of Sign License
Describe the exact location, dimensions, permitted copy, and exclusive or non-exclusive nature of the sign area, plus any site plan exhibit references.
A well-drafted agreement allocates risk, clarifies ongoing maintenance and utilities liability, preserves property condition, and defines revenue or fee-sharing. It reduces disputes about access, electrical usage, and tenant advertising rights while supporting permitting and code compliance.
Typical parties and stakeholders who use or rely on a Business Pylon Agreement include property owners, tenants, sign contractors, and municipal permitting officers.
Each party should verify authority to bind the business and capture insurance, indemnity, and access terms that reflect actual operational practices.
Typically an authorized corporate officer or property manager signs for the owner. Their signature confirms consent for installation, acceptance of permit conditions, and the right to access for maintenance under agreed notice and scheduling rules.
An authorized representative of the tenant or advertiser signs to accept rent/fee terms, advertising restrictions, and to warrant compliance with local sign codes and utility connection requirements.
Describe the exact location, dimensions, permitted copy, and exclusive or non-exclusive nature of the sign area, plus any site plan exhibit references.

Allocate routine and capital maintenance, electrical usage responsibility, meter arrangements, and who handles repairs after storms or vandalism.
