Summary
Kissimmee bans signage entirely for a standard home occupation, the by-right home-business category: Land Development Code § 14-6-7.A.3 states "no signs shall be permitted to advertise" it, and A.11 blocks advertising the home address at all. An extended home occupation gets one small allowance instead: a single, one-square-foot, non-illuminated placard by the front door, per § 14-6-7.B.5.
A.3.No signs shall be permitted to advertise the standard home occupation located on the premises....A.11.The address or location of a standard home occupation shall not be given in any advertisement, including, but not limited to, commercial telephone directories, newspapers, magazines, signs, flyers, radio, television or other media....B.5.Signage is limited to a single, one square foot non-illuminated placard that is attached to the residence, near the main entrance of the residence. Entrances, openings, doors and windows to a garage, patios or screen rooms are not allowed to be marked or have signage. The placard may not project from the structure and must be made out of materials similar to the structure in which it is attached. No other permanent signage is allowed.

Full Breakdown
Kissimmee treats home-business signage as a dividing line between its two home-occupation tiers. " Taken together, the two rules mean a standard home business cannot use a yard sign, a window sign, or even a printed ad naming the home's street address. " The rule goes on to specify what the placard cannot do: it cannot mark or sit on a garage door, patio, or screen room opening, it "may not project from the structure," and it must be made of materials similar to the house it is mounted on.
5 closes with "no other permanent signage is allowed," so even an approved extended home occupation cannot add a second sign, a banner, or an illuminated display. Because the placard limit tracks the general sign chapter, chapter 14-11, applications for a home-occupation placard are reviewed alongside the business tax receipt that legalizes the home occupation itself.
Violations & Fines
A standard home occupation that posts any sign, or advertises its address, violates § 14-6-7.A.3 and A.11 and puts its business tax receipt at risk of revocation under A.13's "home occupational license" clause. An extended home occupation with more than the single one-square-foot placard, or a placard that is illuminated or projects from the wall, violates B.5. Uncorrected violations go to the code enforcement special magistrate under § 14-3-5.
