Home-business signage is regulated by your borough or township zoning ordinance, not Montgomery County. Most municipalities limit home-occupation signs to one small, non-illuminated nameplate. Check your local sign regulations before posting.
There is no county sign ordinance for home businesses. Under the Pennsylvania Municipalities Planning Code, each borough and township adopts its own sign regulations as part of its zoning ordinance. For home occupations, municipal codes typically permit a single small wall or nameplate sign, often capped near one to two square feet, non-illuminated, and mounted flat on the dwelling. Freestanding, illuminated, or oversized signs are commonly prohibited in residential districts. Because limits differ by municipality and zoning district, verify the exact allowance with your local zoning officer before installing any sign.
Non-conforming signs are municipal zoning violations subject to removal orders and MPC civil penalties of up to $500 per day of a continuing violation, prosecuted through the local magisterial district court.
