Seminole's Chapter 66 sign regulations prohibit most commercial signs in residential zoning districts, limiting home occupations to small non-commercial nameplates and address identification consistent with neighborhood character.
Sign rules for the City of Seminole are codified in Chapter 66 of the Code of Ordinances, governing permitting, placement, illumination, and prohibited sign types citywide. Within residential zoning districts where home occupations occur, freestanding business signs, illuminated commercial signage, window lettering visible from the right-of-way, and portable or feather signs are not permitted. Chapter 66 reinforces Florida Statute 559.955, which allows home-based businesses but bars signage that disrupts the residential character of a dwelling. Seminole's code compliance staff respond to citizen complaints in residential areas including Oakhurst Shores, Bay Pines-adjacent neighborhoods, and Park Boulevard corridor frontage parcels.
Erecting prohibited signs at a Seminole home business can result in code compliance notices, mandatory removal at owner expense, and daily fines that typically begin at $100 and escalate for repeat infractions.
