A home occupation in unincorporated Adams County may have no exterior advertising other than one identification sign not exceeding six square feet, which must be located on the face of the home.
Section 4-03-03-02-07(5) of the Development Standards and Regulations limits home-occupation signage to a single wall sign identifying the business. The sign may be no larger than six square feet and must be mounted on the face of the home, not on a freestanding pole, in the yard, or on an accessory building. No other exterior advertising is permitted, which rules out banners, window displays, or off-site signs for the home business. Incorporated cities set their own home-occupation sign rules within their limits.
An oversized or improperly located home-occupation sign, or any additional exterior advertising, violates the Development Standards and Regulations and is subject to county sign and zoning enforcement.
