New Haven prohibits business signage for home occupations in residential zones. No signs advertising the home business may be displayed on the property.
Under New Haven's zoning regulations, home occupations may not display any commercial signage on the property. This includes yard signs, window signs, banners, and any other advertising visible from the street. The intent is to preserve the residential character of neighborhoods. Business vehicles with prominent signage should be parked in enclosed areas.
Displaying business signage at a home occupation results in zoning enforcement notices and fines.
