There is no Burlington County home-business sign rule. Signs for a home occupation are governed by your municipality's zoning and sign ordinance under the Municipal Land Use Law. Most New Jersey towns either prohibit home-occupation signs outright or allow one small, non-illuminated nameplate.
Because New Jersey counties do not zone, signage for a home business is set entirely by municipal ordinance under the MLUL (N.J.S.A. 40:55D). Typical municipal home-occupation standards in Burlington County towns bar exterior advertising that changes the residential character of the property - often prohibiting signs entirely, or permitting one small (commonly one to two square feet) non-illuminated nameplate identifying the resident. Rules on size, placement, illumination, and whether any sign is allowed vary town by town, so verify with your municipal zoning officer or clerk before posting anything.
An unpermitted or oversized home-business sign is a municipal zoning violation; the town can order removal and impose fines under its local ordinance.
