Home occupations in Union County municipalities are generally prohibited from displaying external signage. No visible evidence of business activity is permitted in residential zones under NJ MLUL conventions.
Union County home occupation regulations prohibit any external signage, banners, or displays visible from outside the residence. No commercial vehicles with prominent business signage may be parked in driveways. Window displays are prohibited. The intent is to maintain residential neighborhood character. Small nameplate signs (under 1 sq ft) may be permitted for licensed professionals. NJ’s dense suburban communities tend to enforce these rules strictly.
Sign removal order. Home occupation permit revocation risk. Code enforcement fines $100 to $500.
