Peoria, AZ Home Business: Signage Rules (2026)

The home occupation standards in Section 21-320(B)(1) are built around keeping a home-based business invisible from the street, and signage gets the strictest single line in the list: subsection (b) reads that signs advertising a home occupation 'shall be strictly prohibited,' with no size, lighting, or placement exception carved out anywhere else in the chapter. ' Read together, the two rules mean a lawn sign, a window sign, a vehicle-mounted advertisement parked in the driveway, or even a visible stack of inventory or tools can trigger the same violation.

The prohibition applies whether the home occupation operates by-right or under a Conditional Use Permit; Section 21-320(B)(2) lists the CUP triggers but never reopens the signage ban as something a CUP can waive. Businesses that need street visibility, a nail salon, a retail storefront, a contractor's yard sign, are simply not compatible with home occupation status in Peoria and must locate in a commercial or office zoning district where the sign code applies instead.
