Full Breakdown
Under Perris Municipal Code § 19.02.140(c)(10), home occupations may not display any signage or commercial advertising on the property. The ban sits alongside a broader rule requiring that a home occupation show no external visible evidence of the business (§ 19.02.140(c)(3)), so operators cannot post a yard sign, window sign, or vehicle advertising tied to the business at the residence. The prohibition applies citywide to every home occupation permitted in a residential zone, with no size or type exception.
Violations & Fines
Posting a sign or advertising for a home business is a Development Code violation; Perris Municipal Code § 1.16.005 makes it a misdemeanor punishable by up to $1,000 in fines or six months in jail.
