Home businesses in Ventura are generally prohibited from displaying exterior business signs. The home occupation must not alter the residential character or appearance of the dwelling. No commercial signage visible from the street is permitted for home-based businesses.
Under SBMC Chapter 24.125 home occupation regulations, home businesses must not alter the exterior appearance of the residential dwelling. This effectively prohibits exterior business signs for home-based businesses. The dwelling must remain residential in character and appearance from the street. No commercial signage, banners, flags, or other visible indicators of business activity are permitted on the exterior of the property. Interior signage visible through windows that serves as advertising may also be restricted. These restrictions ensure residential neighborhoods retain their character.
Unauthorized business signage on residential property results in code enforcement notices and fines of $100-$500. Signs must be removed within the compliance period specified in the notice.
