Fillmore's home occupation regulations prohibit or severely restrict exterior signage for home businesses. The business should not be identifiable from outside the residence. This preserves the residential character of neighborhoods.
Home occupation regulations in Fillmore are designed to keep home businesses invisible from the street. Exterior signage advertising a home business is generally prohibited. No signs, window displays, or other exterior indications of business activity are permitted. This includes vehicle signage on commercial vehicles parked prominently in driveways. The home must retain its residential appearance from all public views. Some limited exceptions may exist for licensed daycare homes, which under state law may post a small identification sign. Online businesses and those with no walk-in clients have the least impact but still cannot display exterior signage.
Displaying unauthorized signage for a home business is a code violation. Code enforcement will issue a notice to remove the sign with a compliance deadline. Repeated signage violations may lead to revocation of the home occupation permit.
