Home occupations in Shakopee, Savage, and Prior Lake may not advertise with exterior signs. Nothing visible from the street may show a business operates inside, keeping residential blocks free of commercial display.
The home-occupation rules in Scott County's cities bar any exterior sign, display, or window advertising for a business run from a residence. The goal is to preserve the residential look of the neighborhood, so work vehicles with large commercial lettering parked in the driveway and goods displayed for sale are also restricted. A permitted home occupation shows no outward evidence of the business at all. In the unincorporated townships the Scott County zoning ordinance applies the same principle, and subdivision covenants enforced by an HOA frequently add stricter sign bans.
City or county code enforcement can order removal of a prohibited home-business sign and treat continued display as a zoning violation with daily fines; covenant breaches are enforced privately by the HOA.
