Signage Rules: Mead Valley vs Murrieta

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.

Murrieta generally prohibits exterior signs for home-based businesses in residential zones. The home occupation must show no visible evidence of commercial use from the street, meaning business signs, illuminated displays, window lettering, and freestanding advertising are not permitted.
