A home occupation in Coweta County must not advertise itself from the street. The zoning ordinance keeps home businesses looking like ordinary residences, so exterior business signs, banners, and displays are generally not allowed in residential districts.
Because a Coweta County home occupation must stay incidental and subordinate to the dwelling, the ordinance limits any outward evidence that a business operates on the lot. In standard residential home-occupation districts that means no business signage, banners, flags, or window displays advertising the operation, and the home must keep its residential appearance. Rural Home Occupations on agricultural land are treated more permissively but still control outside storage and visible impacts. Vehicle lettering parked at the home can also run into the county's commercial-vehicle parking limits. Newnan, Senoia, and the other cities impose their own sign rules for home businesses inside their limits.
Posting an exterior business sign at a residential home occupation violates the zoning ordinance, drawing a code enforcement notice, an order to remove the sign, and possible daily penalties until the property complies.
