Home occupations in residential zones are typically limited to one small, non-illuminated nameplate sign of no more than 2 square feet. Larger or illuminated signs are not permitted.
KCMO sign regulations restrict home occupation signage to a single non-illuminated nameplate not exceeding 2 square feet affixed to the building. No freestanding signs, illuminated signs, or billboard-style signs are permitted for home businesses in residential zones. Signs must not resemble commercial signage or change the residential character of the property. Properties in historic districts must also comply with Landmarks Commission sign guidelines.
Code violation for non-compliant home business signs; removal orders issued.
