Home occupations in unincorporated Palm Beach County may not display any exterior signage advertising the business under PBC ULDC Article 8 (Sign Code) read with Article 4 home occupation standards. The residential character of the dwelling must be preserved.
PBC ULDC Article 4 expressly prohibits exterior signage, lighting, or display that identifies a home occupation. Article 8 (Sign Code) bars commercial signs in residential districts except as specifically allowed (real estate, garage sale, political, address). Vehicle signage parked at the residence (commercial logos on a personal vehicle) is generally permitted, but a full-wrap commercial vehicle parked overnight in a residential district may violate ULDC Art. 4 commercial-vehicle limits. Cottage food operators under FL §500.80 also cannot display point-of-sale signage at the home. The City of Reed v. Town of Gilbert (US Supreme Court, 2015) constraints on content-based sign regulation apply, but PBC's residential-district commercial sign ban is content-neutral.
Unauthorized sign: removal order plus Special Magistrate fines to 250 dollars per day per ULDC Art. 14 enforcement provisions.
