Glendale prohibits exterior signage for home-based businesses in residential zones. No signs, banners, or displays advertising the business may be visible from outside.
Under Glendale's zoning regulations, home occupations may not display any exterior signage visible from outside the dwelling. This includes building signs, window displays, yard signs, and vehicle signage. The intent is to maintain the residential character of neighborhoods. Even small name plates or business cards on the door are generally prohibited.
Unauthorized signs are subject to code enforcement removal notices. Continued display results in fines and may jeopardize home occupation status.
