Pompano Beach, FL Home Business: Signage Rules (2026)

Pompano Beach's sign code carves out a specific, smaller allowance for home based businesses rather than letting them use the standard commercial sign package. Under § 156.05(A), in single-family and two-family zoning districts one non-illuminated sign not more than four square feet in sign area, with letter height limited to six inches, is allowed, and that allowance must not conflict with the home based business requirements of § 155.4303.S. Section 156.05(B) makes clear that this smaller allowance is a substitute, not an addition: nonresidential uses in single- and two-family districts other than home based businesses may install a free-standing sign up to 32 square feet and 16 feet high per street frontage, plus a 32-square-foot wall sign per frontage, but the code specifically excludes home based businesses from that larger package.

Layered on top of the sign code's own limits, § 155.4303.S requires every home based business to comply with all local and state signage regulations, expressly citing Chapter 156, the Sign Code. Because § 156.05(A) is the only Chapter 156 provision written for home based businesses in residential districts, that four-square-foot, six-inch-letter sign is effectively the ceiling: there is no free-standing or wall-sign entitlement available to a home business the way there is for other nonresidential uses in the same district.
