A Murfreesboro home occupation may have just one attached business sign no larger than three square feet, and only with Board of Zoning Appeals approval — such signs are not allowed by right.
Under Murfreesboro's home-occupation standards, signage is tightly limited: only one attached business sign, not exceeding three square feet, may be permitted, and only subject to BZA approval rather than as a matter of right. There may be no exterior display of products visible from the street, and the building's residential character must not be altered. Where a home occupation is instead approved administratively by the Planning Director (to obtain a business-license address), no business signs are permitted at all.
An unpermitted or oversized home-occupation sign violates the zoning ordinance's sign rules and can be ordered removed through code enforcement.
