Teaneck strictly limits exterior signage for home occupations to preserve the residential character of neighborhoods.
The township's sign regulations generally prohibit commercial signs in residential districts. Home occupations conducted lawfully as accessory uses must not advertise the business through exterior signage, illuminated displays, or window signs visible from the street. Vehicle-mounted commercial graphics parked on residential property may also be regulated. Professional offices grandfathered into residential zones may have a small nameplate, but new home businesses cannot install signs identifying their operations. Sign permits, where allowed, require zoning approval.
Removal orders; fines per day of continued display until compliance achieved through municipal enforcement.
