Home-based businesses in Palm Bay residential zones are generally prohibited from displaying commercial signage. Signage regulations are part of the Land Development Code. Any signage must comply with the city's sign ordinance provisions.
Palm Bay's sign ordinance for residential areas limits home business signage to maintain neighborhood character. Most home occupation permits prohibit exterior commercial signs, banners, or illuminated displays. A modest nameplate sign of 1-2 square feet, mounted flat at the entrance, may be permitted in some zones. No freestanding signs, vehicle-mounted signs parked for advertising purposes, or temporary promotional signs (banners, A-frames) are allowed for home occupations. This restriction helps maintain the residential character required for home occupation permits.
Unauthorized business signs are subject to removal notices with 7-day compliance deadlines. Fines of $50–$200 per sign per day apply for non-compliance. Signs may be removed by the county after the deadline.
