Chattanooga prohibits or restricts business signs for home occupations in residential zones. No external evidence of the business should be visible.
Home occupations in Chattanooga's residential districts may not display business signs visible from the street. The zoning code prohibits external evidence of the home business. A small nameplate may be the only exception in some districts. Illuminated signs, banners, and freestanding signs for home businesses are prohibited.
Unauthorized signs result in code enforcement notices requiring removal and fines.
