Home business signage in Dade City is restricted under the Land Development Regulations and Florida's home-based business statute (FL §559.955), which prohibits visible external evidence of business activity from the street. Commercial signage is regulated separately.
Dade City'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.
