Home occupations in residential districts of unincorporated Hillsborough County may not display exterior signs or advertising. No on-site commercial signage, lighting, or window displays are permitted. Agricultural farm operations may display limited farm identification signs under the Land Development Code.
Hillsborough County Land Development Code Part 6.11 prohibits exterior signs, symbols, or identification of a home occupation from being visible from the street. This preserves the residential character of neighborhoods. Vehicle signage on personal vehicles parked at the home is generally allowed. In agricultural districts, farm identification and seasonal produce signs are permitted subject to size limits, supporting Plant City strawberry stands and eastern county operations.
Prohibited exterior signage: removal order and citation up to 250 dollars. Repeat violation: home occupation permit revocation.
