Home occupations in Bolingbrook are regulated under the Village's zoning ordinance (Chapter 54). Signage for home-based businesses is generally restricted to maintain residential character. Article VI of Chapter 54 governs the Village's sign ordinance. No external commercial signage is typical for home occupations in Illinois municipalities.
Bolingbrook's sign ordinance for residential areas limits home business signage to maintain neighborhood character. Most home occupation permits prohibit exterior commercial signs, banners, or illuminated displays. A modest nameplate sign of 1-2 square feet, mounted flat at the entrance, may be permitted in some zones. No freestanding signs, vehicle-mounted signs parked for advertising purposes, or temporary promotional signs (banners, A-frames) are allowed for home occupations. This restriction helps maintain the residential character required for home occupation permits.
Unauthorized business signs are subject to removal notices with 7-day compliance deadlines. Fines of $50–$200 per sign per day apply for non-compliance. Signs may be removed by the county after the deadline.
