Douglas County's zoning resolution governs commercial signage in unincorporated areas. Home businesses in residential zones should avoid commercial-scale signage that changes the character of the property.
The DCZR includes sign regulations for various zone districts. In residential zones, commercial signage for home-based businesses should be minimal and not alter the residential character of the property. Small name/address signs may be acceptable. Agricultural zones allow more flexibility. Subdivision covenants and HOA rules may impose additional sign restrictions independently of county regulations.
Commercial signage in residential zones that violates DCZR sign standards can result in removal orders.
