Amarillo limits signage for home businesses. Only a small nameplate sign is permitted for home occupations in residential zones, consistent with the requirement that the business not alter the residential appearance.
Home occupation signage in Amarillo is limited to a small nameplate sign, typically no larger than 2 square feet. No illuminated signs, banner signs, or advertising displays are permitted. The sign must not be freestanding or project from the building. No exterior modifications may be made to the home to advertise or accommodate the business. The goal is to ensure the property maintains its residential appearance and does not create a commercial character in the neighborhood.
Non-compliant business signage may result in code enforcement action and requirements to remove the sign.
