Home occupations in Rancho Cordova are prohibited from displaying exterior signs advertising the business. The dwelling must retain its residential appearance with no advertising visible from the street. Window and yard signs promoting the home business are not allowed.
Rancho Cordova home occupation standards bar on-premises signage to preserve the residential character of single-family and multi-family neighborhoods. This means no yard signs, no window lettering or decals, no illuminated signs, and no vehicle-mounted commercial graphics that remain on site. Limited address identification is of course allowed but not commercial messaging. Vehicle lettering on a personal vehicle is permitted if the vehicle is used, though larger commercial vehicles parked at home are subject to off-street parking rules. First Amendment-protected non-commercial signs (political, religious) are separately protected. The signage ban applies even to home occupations operating legally with a permit.
Display of prohibited business signs can trigger a violation notice and administrative citations starting near 100 dollars per day.
