Paramus regulates signs for home occupations and home professional offices under Chapter 367, restricting size, illumination, and placement on residential lots.
Chapter 367 of the Paramus Borough Code, adopted by Ordinance No. 20-11 on July 9, 2020, governs signage. Section 367-12I(4) addresses signs for home occupations and home professional offices, allowing only a single small identification sign per dwelling. Signs must be non-illuminated, must not flash, and must conform to placement, setback, and dimensional limits set elsewhere in Chapter 367. Permits and fees apply through the Borough Construction or Zoning office.
Unpermitted or oversized signs can lead to removal orders and per-day fines under the Borough Code penalty section.
