Summary
Broken Arrow bars any advertising device or sign for a home occupation that's visible from outside the dwelling, and the Zoning Ordinance's sign tables confirm home occupation signage is flatly prohibited.
There shall be no advertising devices on the property, or other signs of the home occupation, which are visible from outside the dwelling or accessory building.
Full Breakdown
Section 2-4-2.A.1.c.iv of the Broken Arrow Zoning Ordinance sets the standards for home occupations as an accessory use in residential districts and flatly bars 'advertising devices' or 'other signs of the home occupation' that are visible from outside the dwelling or accessory building. Table 5-1-5-1, Allowed Sign Type by District, cross-references the same ban in Note 2: 'Signs advertising a home occupation are prohibited.' The prohibition applies even though the home business itself is a by-right accessory use, so a Broken Arrow resident running a permitted home occupation can operate but cannot post a yard sign, window sign, or any exterior notice advertising it.
Violations & Fines
Posting a visible home occupation sign violates the accessory-use standard and the Zoning Ordinance overall, a misdemeanor under Section 8-2-3 punishable by up to a $1,000 fine or ten days jail per day.
