Signs for a home business are governed by your city, village or township sign and zoning code, not by Montgomery County. Most local codes sharply limit or prohibit business signs in residential districts.
There is no county-wide home-business sign rule. Sign regulation flows from local zoning — townships under ORC Chapter 519 and cities/villages under ORC Chapter 713. Home-occupation provisions in most Montgomery County jurisdictions either ban on-premise business signs in residential zones outright or allow one small, non-illuminated nameplate (commonly one to two square feet) mounted flat to the dwelling. Rules on size, lighting, and placement differ by district, so what one township allows another prohibits. Before posting any sign for a home business, confirm the exact allowance with your city or township zoning inspector.
A prohibited or oversized home-business sign can draw a zoning-violation notice, an order to remove it, and daily fines under the local sign code until it is taken down.
