No signage is allowed for home occupations in Livermore. Business signs on residential property violate the home occupation permit terms.
Livermore Development Code's home occupation standards explicitly prohibit any exterior signage advertising the business at the residence — no window signs, yard signs, vehicle-mounted signs parked prominently, or illuminated displays. The home must retain its residential appearance. Signs for cottage food operations are similarly restricted. Magnetic vehicle signs are permissible but the vehicle should not be used as a billboard parked at the residence. Violation is typically handled through code enforcement with notices to abate followed by administrative fines.
Contact your local code enforcement office for specific penalty information.
