Queen Creek prohibits all on-site advertising for home occupations. No signs, posters, flyers, banners or similar items advertising a home-based business are permitted on the property, preserving the residential appearance of the neighborhood.
The Town of Queen Creek's home occupation standards expressly bar on-site signage. Under the Town's Home-Based Occupation regulations, 'No on-site advertising by way of signs, posters, flyers or banners or similar item is permitted.' This reflects the broader rule that the area devoted to a home occupation must maintain a residential appearance and not interfere with the peace, quiet and dignity of the neighborhood. Separately, Queen Creek regulates business and temporary signs generally through its sign code, enforced by Code Compliance (Neighborhood Preservation): business signs require a permit, temporary signs such as grand-opening banners require permits, feather/flag signs are not permitted, and signs may not be attached to light poles, traffic-control signs, fences, posts, trees or rocks. For a home-based business, however, the controlling rule is the home occupation prohibition: no advertising sign of any kind may be displayed at the residence. Operators relying on internet, phone, realty, or door-to-door models therefore must market off-site rather than posting any sign at the home. Questions about signs can be directed to the Town's Planning Shared Line, and home occupation questions to Community Development.
Displaying any sign, poster, flyer, banner or similar advertising for a home occupation violates the Town's home occupation standards and is subject to Code Compliance (Neighborhood Preservation) enforcement and removal, plus penalties under the Town Code.
