Doylestown Borough regulates signs through Ch. 27 zoning. Home occupations being incidental to residential use typically have limited or no signage rights. Sign permits required for any new signage. Contact Building and Zoning for home occupation sign allowances.
Doylestown Borough's zoning ordinance (Chapter 27) regulates signage by district and use type. Home occupations classified as 'Customary Home Occupation' (Use 60) are required to be incidental and secondary to the residential use of the dwelling, which typically limits signage. Most PA municipalities following the MPC allow home occupations only a small identification sign (commonly 1-2 square feet). The Borough's sign regulations would apply, and a sign permit would be required for any new signage. Content-based sign regulations must comply with the First Amendment. Temporary signs, banners, and political signs may have separate provisions. Property owners should consult the Building and Zoning Department for specific sign allowances for their home occupation.
Unauthorized signage: zoning violation, removal order, fines.
