Showing ordinances that apply to Drexel Heights, AZ
Drexel Heights is an unincorporated community (population 27,523) in Pima County, Arizona. Because Drexel Heights is not an incorporated city, it does not have its own municipal code. Instead, Pima County ordinances apply directly to properties here. The signage rules rules below are the ones that govern your area.
Pima County prohibits commercial signage for home occupations in residential zones. No exterior signs, window displays, or advertising visible from the street may indicate a business operates at the residence. This maintains the residential character required by the zoning code.
Pima County Zoning Code home occupation provisions strictly prohibit any exterior signage or advertising that would indicate a business is being conducted at a residential property. This includes freestanding yard signs, banners, window signs, vehicle wraps parked prominently for advertising purposes, and illuminated signs. The intent is to preserve the residential character of neighborhoods in unincorporated areas. Online advertising with the home address is not restricted by zoning code, but displaying a commercial address on platforms like Google Maps may draw code compliance attention if neighbors file complaints. Home businesses requiring visible signage typically need to reclassify the property or obtain a commercial zoning change, which is a formal rezoning process through the Pima County Board of Supervisors. Vehicle signage (company name on work trucks) is generally tolerated for vehicles in regular personal use.
