How can I put a neighborhood entrance sign on the easement of someone’s property?
Do I need a surveyor to plot the site map or can I use an existing plot map and just have the property owner mark the site of the signs? Will I have to get a signature and a witness?

I think that you should consult with a real estate attorney in your area as to placing anything. From what I can understand here the neighborhood that you live in has its entrance through the easement of another's property. Well then what the easement states and what is allowed needs to be determined. You are permitted access but doe that necessarily mean that you are permitted to post signs? It is still someone else's property here. You need permission and yes, I would get it in writing and with witnesses. In fact, I would have an attorney draw up the permission. And who is to maintain the sign and incur liability if something happens with it? Get help here. Good luck.
