Full Breakdown
Table 25.05.180.2.1 of the Sioux City Municipal Code, covering attached signs in the Agriculture and Residential districts (AG, RR, SR, GR, UR), sets the Home Occupation Sign standard: one sign per home occupation, capped at one square foot cumulative sign area under Sec. 25.05.140, with no illumination permitted under Sec. 25.05.170.5. A table note requires the sign be attached or affixed securely and flat against a wall of the home -- no freestanding or yard signs for a home business in Woodbury County's largest city.
