Full Breakdown
Home occupations approved in Beaverton, Washington County, Oregon, may display only one name plate, capped at two square feet, under Development Code § 60.40.15.9. Both Home Occupation One (no visitors) and Home Occupation Two (client visits allowed) applications require, as a condition of approval, that there be no signage aside from that name plate; the standard is enforced through the Type 1 or Type 2 land-use decision, not a separate sign permit. Any larger sign, banner, or freestanding sign advertising the business violates the approval criteria and can trigger code enforcement or permit revocation.
Violations & Fines
Failing to meet the no-signage criterion means the Home Occupation application can be denied, or an approved permit revoked for noncompliance, and the city can require removal of any unauthorized sign.
