For home occupations in unincorporated Clackamas County, ZDO 822 allows signs only as permitted under the county's sign regulations. Signs shall be permitted pursuant to Section 1010, Signs, keeping any home-business identification modest and consistent with the residential character.
ZDO 822 does not grant a home occupation its own generous sign allowance; instead it defers to the county's general sign code. For both Level 1 minor and major home occupations, signs shall be permitted pursuant to Section 1010, Signs. In practice this keeps home-business signage small and residential in scale in unincorporated areas. Cities such as Oregon City and Lake Oswego regulate home-business signs under their own municipal sign codes, so confirm the rules for your jurisdiction before installing any sign.
A home-occupation sign exceeding what Section 1010 allows is a sign-code violation subject to county code enforcement and removal or correction.
