Reedley prohibits all exterior business signage at home occupations under Chapter 10.84. No external evidence of business activity may be visible from outside the residence.
Under Reedley Municipal Code Chapter 10.84 (Home Occupation Standards and Permit) and the legacy provision at Section 10-13-1, home occupations must maintain the residential character of the property with no external evidence of business activity. This means no business signs, banners, window displays, or other advertising materials visible from outside the residence. The home occupation must not alter the exterior appearance of the dwelling in any way that would indicate commercial use. No commodities or product displays are permitted on the premises in a manner visible from outside. This restriction is consistent with the broader goal of home occupation regulations to ensure that residential neighborhoods remain residential in character. The city's general sign regulations under its zoning code provide additional framework for what types of signs are permitted in residential zones, generally limiting residential signs to address identification and temporary real estate signs.
Installing a business sign at a home occupation is a zoning violation. Code enforcement may issue a notice of violation requiring immediate removal. Failure to comply can result in administrative citations starting at $100 and escalating. Persistent signage violations may lead to revocation of the home occupation permit.
