Showing ordinances that apply to East Kingston, NY
East Kingston is an unincorporated community (population 277) in Ulster County, New York. Because East Kingston is not an incorporated city, it does not have its own municipal code. Instead, Ulster County ordinances apply directly to properties here. The signage rules rules below are the ones that govern your area.
Home-occupation signage is tightly restricted in Ulster County towns. Most town codes allow only one small non-illuminated sign (typically 1-2 square feet) identifying the business; some towns prohibit any signage whatsoever.
Local home-occupation provisions in New Paltz, Woodstock, Saugerties, Kingston (City), Rosendale, and other Ulster County municipalities share a common sign framework: at most one wall-mounted or ground sign, 1-2 square feet in area, non-illuminated, set back from the right-of-way. Illuminated, flashing, or inflatable signs are prohibited as contrary to residential character. Within designated historic districts (Kingston Stockade, New Paltz Huguenot Street, Hurley historic district), sign design is further regulated by the local Historic Preservation Commission. Temporary A-frame signs and digital signs are generally banned for home occupations.
Unauthorized signage: written notice, removal order, and fines typically $100-$500 per day. Historic-district violations carry higher fines and possible ZBA action.
