Home businesses in Sioux Falls are generally prohibited from displaying business signs. The residential character of the property must be maintained. Small name plates may be permitted but commercial signage is not allowed in residential zones.
The zoning ordinance restricts signage for home occupations to maintain neighborhood character. Most residential zones prohibit business signs entirely. A small nameplate identifying the occupant may be permitted but cannot advertise a business. Illuminated signs, banner signs, and sandwich board signs are all prohibited in residential districts.
Non-compliant signs: notice to remove within 7 to 14 days. Fines of $50 to $200 per violation. Repeated offenses: increased fines and potential home occupation permit revocation.
