Summary

Brick Township's zoning code flatly bars home offices from putting up any signage. A home office accessory use must leave the dwelling's exterior completely unchanged, so no sign of any kind is allowed.

There shall be no change to the exterior of buildings or structures because of the use and no outside appearance of a business use, including, but not limited to, parking, storage, signs, or lights;

G. The use operates no equipment or process that creates noise, vibration, glare, fumes, odors, or electrical interference, including interference with telephone, radio or television reception, detectable by neighboring residents;

H. The use does not require any increased or enhanced electrical or water supply;

I. The quantity and type of solid waste disposal is the same as other residential uses in the zone district;

J. The capacity and quality of effluent is typical of normal residential use and creates no potential or actual detriment to the sanitary sewer system or its components;

K. Delivery trucks shall be permitted or provide delivery services to a home office only on weekdays between the hours of 9:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m.

L. Taxicab and limousine services may be permitted as a home office use, provided that only one taxicab or one limousine may be parked at the residence in a separate, off-street, improved parking space. [Added 3-27-2012 by Ord. No. 5-12]

The code lists signs by name alongside parking, storage, and lights as changes that are not permitted. There's no permit path to add a sign to a home office in Brick: the use only qualifies as accessory in the first place if the property looks purely residential from the street.

Violations & Fines

Zoning violations are enforced under the Township's general penalty section: fines up to $2,000, up to 90 days in jail, or community service, with each day of a continuing violation a separate offense.
