Gwinnett UDO generally prohibits exterior signage for home occupations in unincorporated residential zones. The home-based business must produce no exterior evidence of its operation, meaning no business signs, window displays, or advertising visible from the street.
Residential zoning districts in unincorporated Gwinnett (RA-200, R-100, R-TH, RM) restrict signage to what is permitted for residential use. Home occupation standards in the UDO require that business activity produce no visible exterior indicator. A small nameplate identifying the occupant may be allowed under general residential sign standards, but business-specific signage advertising goods or services is not permitted. This rule preserves residential character and distinguishes home occupations from commercial uses. Vehicle signage on personal vehicles parked at the residence is generally tolerated if incidental, but fleet commercial vehicles face stricter rules.
Non-compliant signs must be removed; fines up to $1,000 per violation under UDO enforcement.
