Waco generally prohibits exterior signage for home-based businesses in residential areas. The home must maintain its residential appearance with no visible commercial indicators.
Under Waco's zoning and sign ordinances, home occupations may not display exterior signs advertising the business. The property must maintain a residential appearance from the exterior. No commercial displays, window signs, or illuminated business signs are permitted in residential zones. A small nameplate (typically 1-2 square feet) with the resident's name may be allowed. Sign regulations are found in the city's sign ordinance which is part of the zoning code. Violations are enforced by the Code Compliance division.
Code compliance citations with orders to remove signage. Fines for continued non-compliance.
