Home occupations in Sandy are prohibited from using any exterior signage, lighted signs, window lettering, or commercial display. Yard signs advertising the business are not permitted. One small identification sign may be allowed under very limited conditions in some zones.
Sandy City Code Title 15 (Zoning) and the sign ordinance prohibit commercial signs in R-1 residential zones, and home occupations are specifically barred from external advertising. This means no yard signs, no window lettering, no lighted sign, no A-frame sandwich boards, no commercial vehicle wraps parked visibly in the driveway. Sandy treats any such display as evidence the business is no longer 'incidental' to residential use and revocation of the home occupation license follows. One exception: certain professional offices in transitional zones (typically along State Street) may be permitted a small nameplate under 2 sqft, flush-mounted to the building, non-illuminated. Standard political and real-estate yard signs are unrelated and follow their own rules (typically 6 sqft max in R-1).
Illegal home-business sign: $100-$500 per sign, with removal order. Continued display: $1,000+ and home occupation license revocation.
