Signage Rules: Anza vs Riverside

Riverside County generally prohibits any exterior signage advertising a home occupation. Ordinance 348 Section 18.28 requires that home occupations produce no external evidence of the business, and Ordinance 521.2 (the County Sign Ordinance) does not authorize commercial signage on residentially zoned parcels.

Riverside prohibits all exterior signage for home occupations under RMC Chapter 19.440. No sign, window display, name plate, or symbol advertising the business may be visible from the street or any public right-of-way. This rule is strictly enforced to preserve residential neighborhood character.
