Home occupations in Sarpy County and its cities may not advertise with exterior signs. Nothing visible from the street may show a business runs inside, keeping residential blocks free of commercial display.
The home-occupation provisions in the Sarpy County zoning regulations and in the Bellevue, Papillion, La Vista, and Gretna codes bar exterior signs, banners, and window advertising for a business run from a home. Work vehicles with large commercial lettering parked in view and any goods displayed for sale are restricted for the same reason: the neighborhood must keep its residential look. A small nameplate is sometimes allowed for a licensed professional. In the many covenant-controlled subdivisions around Papillion, La Vista, and Gretna, homeowners association rules commonly ban business signage on top of the city rule and are enforced separately.
Code enforcement can order a prohibited home-business sign removed and treat continued display as a zoning violation with daily fines; covenant breaches are enforced privately by the HOA.
