Home businesses in Santa Rosa are generally prohibited from displaying commercial signage visible from the street. A small nameplate sign may be allowed depending on the type of home occupation.
Under the Zoning Code, home occupations in residential zones may not display commercial signage that is visible from the street or public area. A small nameplate (typically no larger than 1 square foot) identifying the occupant may be permitted. Illuminated signs, banner signs, and A-frame signs are prohibited for home businesses. The intent is to maintain the residential character of the neighborhood.
Prohibited signage results in code enforcement notices requiring removal.
