Signage for home businesses in unincorporated Dane County is regulated through Chapter 10 zoning. Residential districts typically allow small, non-illuminated signs only.
Dane County Chapter 10 regulates signs including those for home occupations in residential zoning districts. In residential-transitional (TR) districts, home occupation signs are typically limited to small, non-illuminated signs identifying the business. Agricultural zoning districts have more permissive sign rules. Highway-visible signs may require additional review from the county or Wisconsin DOT for signs near state highways.
Oversized or illuminated signs for home businesses in residential zoning districts are violations subject to Dane County zoning enforcement.
