Signage for home occupations in unincorporated Solano County is tightly limited by Solano County Code Section 28.72.40 and the countywide sign rules in Chapter 28.96. A Type I home occupation may display NO sign of any kind — Section 28.72.40 expressly bars signage advertising the business at a Type I residential site. A Type II home occupation is allowed exactly one nonilluminated sign, not exceeding two square feet in area. Both tiers must avoid any external evidence of business activity beyond the permitted sign — no window displays, no flashing or animated signs, no off-site advertising on the parcel, and no signage that creates traffic, glare, or visual impact inconsistent with the residential character of the neighborhood. The general residential-zone sign standards in Sec. 28.96 supply size, height, and placement defaults and prohibit illumination of residential signs. Violations are handled through code enforcement under Chapter 28 and can result in fines and revocation of the home-occupation permit.
