Summary
Titusville bans electronic message signage at home occupations outright: Sec. 32-13(a)(5)a. says dynamic or variable message signs are never allowed at, on, or visible from any dwelling or home occupation in a residential zoning or use. Ordinary home identification signage instead falls under the small permit-exempt sign allowance in Sec. 32-4(a), capped at 6 square feet with tight setbacks.
(5)Zoning and use.a.Dynamic or variable message signs shall not be allowed at, on or visible to the public from any dwelling or home occupation in a residential zoning or residential use.b.Businesses, churches or schools located in a residential zoning are allowed dynamic or variable message signs providing that:1.They comply with Sections 32-13(a)(1) and 32-13(a)(2) of this chapter;2.Dynamic or variable message signs within one hundred fifty (150) feet of a residential zoning or use shall be turned off between the hours of 10:00 p.m. and 7:00 a.m.

Full Breakdown
Titusville's Land Development Regulations do not carry a single dedicated home-occupation-signage section; instead, home-based businesses are governed by two separate parts of Chapter 32. The first is an outright prohibition: Sec. states that dynamic or variable message signs shall not be allowed at, on or visible to the public from any dwelling or home occupation in a residential zoning or residential use, closing off electronic and LED signage as an option for any home business, with no exception offered for home occupations the way the code carves one out for businesses, churches or schools in residential zoning under Sec.
32-13(a)(5)b. Absent that dynamic-sign ban, a home occupation's identification signage is governed by the general permit-exempt allowance in Sec. 32-4(a). A sign of up to 6 square feet is exempt from permitting if it keeps a 5-foot front-yard setback, a 10-foot side-yard setback, at least 10 feet of spacing from other signs, and stays unilluminated. 5 square feet bearing only property numbers, post office box numbers and the occupant's name, is separately exempt under Sec. 32-4(a)(2) purely for identification purposes. Any home-business signage larger than these thresholds, or that is illuminated, would need to meet the City's standard permitting and area rules elsewhere in Chapter 32, the same framework that applies to commercial signage generally.
Violations & Fines
A home occupation sign that uses a prohibited dynamic or electronic display violates Sec. 32-13(a)(5)a. directly; one that exceeds the 6-square-foot exempt threshold or the required setbacks without a permit can be treated as an illegal sign under Sec. 32-2 and ordered removed by the Building Official under the nuisance authority in Sec. 32-3(g).
