Pasadena prohibits commercial signage for home occupations. No business signs, banners, or advertising may be displayed at the residence.
Pasadena's Zoning Code prohibits any commercial signage for home occupations in residential zones. This includes yard signs, window signs, banners, and illuminated signs. The intent is to maintain residential neighborhood character. Business vehicles with prominent signage should be parked in enclosed garages. Online advertising does not trigger signage violations.
Business signage at a home occupation results in zoning citations and required removal.
