Weber County, UT Home Business: Signage Rules (2026)

Sec 108-13-2 gives home occupations in unincorporated Weber County a narrow signage allowance. The rule permits a single flat sign or name plate attached to the house or the mailbox, and that sign cannot exceed two square feet in area. Installing it requires its own land use permit application, separate from the underlying home occupation permit, and any later modification to the sign, including a change in wording, size, or material, requires a new land use permit before it can be swapped in. The code draws a hard line against anything freestanding: no freestanding sign and no banner sign is allowed for a home occupation, regardless of size.

This sits inside the broader home occupation standard that the business must retain the general character and appearance of a residential dwelling and not change the neighborhood's character, with the sign named as one of the few visible exceptions the county tolerates. Because the sign permit is processed alongside the home occupation's land use permit and annual business license, county planning staff can flag an oversized or unpermitted sign during the same inspections used to check hours, parking, and outdoor storage compliance.
