Akron prohibits exterior signage for home-based businesses in residential zones. No signs, banners, or displays advertising the business may be visible from outside the property.
Under Akron's zoning code, home occupations may not have any exterior signage visible from outside the dwelling. This includes signs on the building, in windows, on the lawn, or on vehicles regularly parked at the property. The intent is to preserve the residential character of the neighborhood. Home businesses must operate without any outward indication of commercial activity.
Signs advertising a home business are subject to code enforcement removal notices. Continued display may result in fines and jeopardize the home occupation approval.
