Sign rules for a home business are set by your city, not Ramsey County. In St. Paul a home occupation may have one identification sign no larger than two square feet, and it may not be placed in a required yard.
Ramsey County does not regulate residential signage; each city's zoning code does under Minn. Stat. ch. 462. St. Paul's home-occupation standards permit a single identification sign no larger than two (2) square feet in area, which must not be located in a required yard (the setback area). There must also be no exterior storage of equipment or supplies and no external evidence that changes the residential character of the property. Suburban Ramsey County cities (Roseville, Maplewood, Shoreview) set their own home-occupation sign sizes — many prohibit any sign or cap it at a similar small size — so confirm with your city's zoning office.
An oversized or improperly placed home-business sign is cited by the city zoning office; St. Paul enforces through Safety & Inspections correction orders.
