Sonoma County Code § 26-88-121 limits home-occupation signage to a single attached, non-illuminated sign of no more than two (2) square feet. The dwelling's residential character must be preserved.
Per Sonoma County Code § 26-88-121, 'A home occupation shall be limited to one (1) attached, non-illuminated, two (2) square-foot sign.' The same section requires that 'the home occupation shall not require any change of the residential character or the outside appearance of the dwelling, either by the use of colors, materials, lighting, noise, or signs other than signage permitted by this section.' Free-standing yard signs, illuminated signs, window-mounted advertising signs, and any signage larger than two square feet are not permitted. Off-site commercial dust, fumes, glare, light, noise, odor, smoke, or vibration is likewise prohibited.
An over-sized, illuminated, or detached home-occupation sign is a zoning violation subject to Chapter 1 enforcement: administrative citation, sign removal order, and civil penalties for continuing violations. Repeat or aggravated sign violations may also trigger loss of the home-occupation exemption and require the operator to relocate to a commercial zone.
