Home occupation signs are highly restricted in Babylon. Most residential districts prohibit all commercial signage at a home business, or limit signs to a single non-illuminated nameplate under 2 sq ft attached to the dwelling. No freestanding signs, no internally illuminated signs, no window signage.
Babylon sign code is part of zoning chapter. Residential district sign rules aim to preserve character. Home occupations cannot advertise on-site with the same signage as commercial districts. Violation of sign rules is a common complaint-driven enforcement item. Vehicle signage (magnetic or vinyl on personal vehicle) is allowed but must be removed or covered when the vehicle is parked in residential zone for extended time.
Contact your local code enforcement office for specific penalty information.
