Quincy's zoning ordinance prohibits home businesses in residential districts from maintaining signs, show windows, illumination, or displays except as specifically permitted under the signage regulations. No commercial signage is allowed for home occupations.
Under QZO Chapter 375, no residential accessory use (including home businesses) may use signs, show windows, illumination, or displays unless the specific use expressly allows it under the city's sign regulations. This effectively prohibits commercial signage for home-based businesses in residential zones. Any sign permit requests must be reviewed by Inspectional Services against the zoning ordinance provisions.
