A home occupation in unincorporated Greenville County may display only one non-illuminated nameplate, no larger than 2 square feet, mounted flat against the wall of the principal building. No other signage or window display is permitted.
Section 6:2(13)(I) of the Greenville County Zoning Ordinance limits home-occupation signage to a single non-illuminated nameplate not more than 2 square feet (for example, 1 foot by 2 feet) mounted flat against the wall of the principal building where the occupation is conducted. Additionally, no display of merchandise may be visible from the street, and the residential character of the premises may not be altered. These sign limits keep home businesses visually indistinguishable from ordinary residences. Incorporated cities apply their own sign rules.
Signs exceeding the size, count, or illumination limits, or merchandise visible from the street, are zoning violations enforced by Greenville County code enforcement.
