No Gloucester County sign rule exists. Each municipality's zoning ordinance caps home-business signs, and the common limit for a home occupation is a single small, non-illuminated nameplate mounted flat on the dwelling.
Sign control sits in the municipal zoning ordinance, not with the county, which regulates nothing. Under a typical Gloucester home-occupation provision a resident may display one small identification sign, usually one or two square feet, unlit, and attached to the house rather than freestanding. Larger, lit, or freestanding signs are barred outright in residential zones or need a variance from the zoning board of adjustment. Deptford, Washington Township, Monroe, Glassboro, and Woodbury each set their own dimensions and setbacks. A sign within a state highway right-of-way, such as along Route 55, Route 42, or Route 322, also falls under New Jersey Department of Transportation control.
An oversized or unpermitted home-business sign brings a zoning notice of violation, an order to remove it, and daily municipal-court fines until it comes down.
