Residential home business signage in Nassau County is severely restricted or prohibited. Most Nassau towns and villages allow only small non-illuminated nameplates (typically 1-2 square feet, attached to the house, stating name and profession only), and many prohibit signage for home occupations entirely.
Typical Nassau sign rules for home occupations: one non-illuminated nameplate or professional shingle; maximum 1-2 square feet; attached flat to the principal residence (not freestanding); limited to occupant name, profession, and possibly a small logo; no advertising messages, phone numbers, or pricing. Freestanding yard signs for home businesses are universally prohibited. Vehicle advertising (business name on cars parked at home) may trigger commercial vehicle restrictions. Short-term construction, for-sale, and political signs fall under separate rules.
Illegal home business signage: $100-$1,000 per sign per day until removed. Repeat violations may trigger broader zoning review of the home occupation permit.
