Home-based businesses in unincorporated LA County cannot display exterior business signage in residential zones under Title 22. The business must be invisible from outside. Sign regulations are enforced by LA County DRP to maintain residential neighborhood character.
Home-based businesses in unincorporated LA County cannot display exterior business signs under Title 22 home occupation standards. The purpose is to maintain the residential character of the neighborhood. No commercial signage, banners, or advertisements may be visible from the street or neighboring properties. Window signs visible from outside are also prohibited. Vehicle signage (company name on car/truck) parked at the residence is generally allowed as it is regulated as a vehicle, not a building sign. Interior signs visible only to household members have no restrictions.
Displaying business signage at a residential property violates Title 22 home occupation and sign code regulations. Code enforcement issues a notice of violation with 10 days to remove the sign. Failure to comply results in fines of $50-$250 per day per sign. Repeat violations may result in revocation of the home occupation permit. Prohibited signs placed on public property (poles, medians) carry additional penalties.
