Grapevine generally prohibits commercial signage for home occupations in residential districts. One small identification sign may be allowed if attached to the dwelling and non-illuminated.
Commercial advertising signs for home-based businesses are generally prohibited in Grapevine single-family residential districts to preserve the residential character of neighborhoods. The Unified Development Code sign regulations typically allow only a single small non-illuminated nameplate identifying the resident or profession, often limited to one or two square feet and attached to the dwelling wall. Freestanding yard signs, A-frame signs, and vehicle-based signs parked visibly on the street are not permitted as home occupation signage. Window signs, inflatable advertising, and banners are also prohibited. Temporary real estate and contractor signs are regulated separately. HOAs commonly impose additional sign restrictions. Violations are a Class C misdemeanor subject to citation. Contact Code Compliance at (817) 410-3388.
