Pinellas Park's Land Development Code Article 6 governs all signs, including those for home-based businesses. State law also prohibits signage at home businesses that is visible from the street, beyond what is allowed for residential uses.
Article 6 of Pinellas Park's Land Development Code regulates sign size, placement, illumination, and permitting citywide. For home-based businesses, Florida Statute 559.955 specifically requires that the use of the property as viewed from the street remain consistent with surrounding residential uses, and that external modifications conform to residential character. This effectively prohibits commercial-style business signage at residential homes. Most home occupations are limited to no exterior advertising or signage that would distinguish the property from neighboring homes. Vehicle decals and lettering may also be restricted if they create a non-residential appearance from the public right-of-way.
Installing illuminated, oversized, or commercial-style signs at a home business can trigger code enforcement citations, fines, and orders to remove the signage.
