Spokane County limits home-business signs strictly. A home profession may have one unlighted sign no larger than 5 square feet, placed flat against the residence. A home industry may have one unlighted attached or detached sign up to 16 square feet.
Spokane County Zoning Code caps home-based-business signage to preserve residential character. For a home profession, one sign identifying the use may be allowed, limited to a maximum of 5 square feet, unlighted, and placed flat against the residence; window displays are not permitted. For the larger home-industry category, one attached or detached sign identifying the home industry is allowed, unlighted, and not exceeding 16 square feet. No illuminated or off-site signage is permitted for either category.
An oversized, illuminated, or additional sign violates the home-occupation standards and is subject to zoning code enforcement by the Division of Building and Planning.
