Hidalgo County has no zoning or sign ordinance for residential property, so home businesses in unincorporated areas face no county limit on signs. Sign rules apply only inside city limits or, for highway signs, under TxDOT state law.
Because Texas counties cannot zone, Hidalgo County does not impose a home-occupation sign ordinance — there is no county cap on the number, size, or lighting of a sign advertising a business at a home in the unincorporated area. Placement is still limited by other laws: signs may not sit in the public road right-of-way, and outdoor advertising along interstate and primary highways is regulated by the Texas Department of Transportation under Texas Transportation Code Chapter 391. Deed restrictions or an HOA can also restrict signs. If the home is inside a Hidalgo County city, that city's sign code and home-occupation standards control instead. The county's role is confined to nuisance abatement and right-of-way protection, not sign zoning.
The county has no sign-ordinance penalty for a home business. Signs illegally placed in a county road right-of-way may be removed, and unpermitted outdoor advertising along regulated highways is subject to TxDOT enforcement under Transportation Code Chapter 391.
