In Singapore, outdoor signage and advertisement licenses are generally overseen by the Building Construction Authority (BCA) and the Urban Redevelopment Authority (URA). However, depending on the location, you may also need additional approvals from agencies like the Orchard Road Business Association (ORBA), the Land Transport Authority (LTA), or the Singapore Land Authority (SLA).
