Home occupations in Omaha are not permitted to display commercial signage on residential property. Signage that advertises a business would change the residential character and is prohibited.
Omaha's home occupation rules under §55-767(c) require that a home business not change the residential character of the site. External commercial signage advertising a home-based business is generally prohibited in residential zones. Chapter 55 sign regulations apply to all signage in the city. Residents using their home as a registered business address for mail/administrative purposes only (no customers, no employees) face fewer restrictions, but any visible exterior sign indicating a commercial use would violate residential zoning.
Commercial signage on residential property in violation of zoning is subject to enforcement and required removal.
