Colorado Springs, CO Home Business: Signage Rules (2026)

C governs home occupation signage. No sign may be used other than one identifying the home occupation; that sign may not exceed two (2) square feet in area, must be attached to the dwelling, and there shall be no illumination of the sign. The code adds a narrow exception: an unilluminated placard, sign, or card not over two (2) square feet, in compliance with Colorado Revised Statutes 25-4-1614(3)(c), may be displayed at the point of sale for cottage foods permitted under subsection M of the same section.

That state statute - the Colorado Cottage Foods Act - requires a producer to conspicuously display a placard at the point of sale stating that the product was produced in a home kitchen not subject to state licensure or inspection. The City's Home Occupation Permit page reiterates that a sign no greater than two square feet is permitted, must be attached to the home, may only identify the home occupation, and cannot be illuminated in any way.
