Haltom City home occupations may display only a small non-illuminated wall sign up to 2 square feet. Freestanding, pole, electronic, neon, and flashing signs are prohibited in residential zones.
Under the Haltom City Zoning Ordinance and Sign Regulations, home occupations are permitted only minimal signage consistent with preserving the residential character of the neighborhood. Permitted signs typically include one non-illuminated wall sign not exceeding 2 square feet in area, mounted flat against the front wall of the dwelling near the main entrance. Freestanding yard signs, pole signs, projecting signs, electronic message boards, illuminated signs, neon signs, banners, flags, and flashing lights are generally prohibited for home occupations. Window signs counting toward the 2 square foot limit may be allowed. Vehicle signs and magnetic door decals on the business owners personal vehicle are permitted when the vehicle is parked in the driveway normally, but parking large commercial vehicles with heavy signage in residential driveways can trigger commercial vehicle parking ordinance violations. Temporary real estate, political, and garage sale signs are governed by separate sign code provisions and are not considered business signage. Violations can result in a cease and desist letter and Class C misdemeanor citation with fines up to 500 dollars per day. HOAs in Haltom City may impose additional signage restrictions up to an outright ban on home-occupation signage.
