Signage for home businesses in unincorporated Arapahoe County is regulated under the Land Development Code. Home occupations are limited in their ability to display business signage to maintain the residential character of neighborhoods.
The Arapahoe County Land Development Code restricts signage for home occupations in unincorporated residential areas. Home businesses must maintain the residential character of the neighborhood, which limits the type and size of commercial signage permitted. The LDC's sign regulations apply to all signs in unincorporated areas, and temporary use permits from the Zoning Division may be required for certain sign types. PUD developments may have additional sign restrictions beyond the base code. The Zoning Division processes sign permits and can provide specific requirements for your zone district. Contact Zoning at 720-874-6711 for sign permit requirements.
Unauthorized signs may face code enforcement action and orders for removal.
