Gulfport, FL Home Business: Signage Rules (2026)

03(d) gets none. Subsection (d)(4) requires that 'no evidence of the conduct of a home occupation shall be detectable from the outside of the dwelling or accessory structure,' a standard that reaches any exterior sign, placard, or window notice announcing the business. Subsection (d)(2) reinforces it by barring any outdoor display of goods or outside storage of equipment, trailers, or materials used in the occupation, and (d)(3) bars selling or supplying any commodity on the premises at all. These sit alongside the 25-percent floor-area cap in (d)(1), which keeps the whole operation contained inside the dwelling or an accessory structure, and the phone/mail/record-keeping-only carve-out in (d)(12), which shows the ordinance is built around occupations that don't need a public-facing storefront presence.

A property owner cannot cure a signage violation by seeking a variance from this subsection; the City Manager, who approves and can revoke the license under (d)(15), administers it directly rather than through the Board of Adjustment's sign-variance process used for commercial signage under Article XVII.
