Las Vegas, NV Home Business: Signage Rules (2026)

A Las Vegas Home Occupation Permit bars any signage tied to the business. LVMC 19.16.180(G)(1)(d) states there "shall be no signage or other advertising of any kind, whether on the property or elsewhere, which advertises the address or physical location of the property or identifies the existence of a Home Occupation on the property." That reaches beyond a yard sign: off-site advertising, such as a business card, website listing or flyer that gives out the home's address, also violates the standard.

The only carve-out is contact information that does not point back to the property: a home telephone number or a post office box may be advertised through any medium other than on-site signage. A home-based consultant, tutor or online seller can list a phone number or PO box on a website or business card, but cannot post a sign at the residence or publish the residential address anywhere.

The no-signage rule sits inside the Section's broader Operational Standards, which the Director must find satisfied before approving a Home Occupation Permit and can enforce by revoking or conditioning an existing one. Since the Section's stated purpose is to keep a home occupation invisible to "the average neighbor, under normal circumstances," a sign identifying the business defeats the permit's premise directly, and code enforcement treats a posted sign as one of the more visible, easily cited violations.
