Converse home occupation rules typically prohibit visible commercial signage at residential properties. Small unlit nameplates may be allowed but illuminated signs, yard signs, and banners are not.
Converse zoning preserves residential character by restricting commercial signage at home occupations. The default rule for residential districts: no exterior signage advertising the home-based business may be visible from the street. Some zoning districts allow a single small nameplate (often limited to 1 or 2 square feet, nonilluminated, attached to the building) identifying the resident or profession. Yard signs, A-frames, banners, window signs, neon, and vehicle graphics parked in the driveway as mobile billboards are generally prohibited. Temporary signs (garage sale, real estate) follow separate temporary sign rules with time limits. HOAs often impose stricter sign bans that override permissive city rules. Delivery and service vehicles parked briefly for work calls are not treated as signage. Magnetic signs on personal vehicles used for business but driven off-site do not violate residential sign rules.
