Rose Hill, NC Home Business: Signage Rules (2026)

087. Among them is a narrow allowance for signs bearing the name of the occupant of a dwelling, office, or other building or home occupation: the sign face cannot exceed two square feet, and if the sign is illuminated, the only lighting allowed is a concealed light source, ruling out exposed bulbs or floodlit faces. The same section separately exempts real estate signs up to 12 square feet, temporary contractor signs up to 12 square feet (one per 300 feet of frontage), civic and nonprofit signs up to 24 square feet, and subdivision entrance signs up to 24 square feet and five feet tall, so the two-square-foot cap on home occupation signage is deliberately the tightest allowance in the list.

084, which brings the full commercial size and count limits. 087: the Town Administrator can order an oversized or improperly lit sign corrected within 30 days, and if not corrected may remove or alter it and bill the owner. 999 as a misdemeanor, fine up to $50 and up to 30 days in jail, each day a separate offense.
