Smyrna limits or prohibits signage for home-based businesses in residential zones. No commercial signage is permitted on residential properties operating a home occupation. General Smyrna sign ordinance (Ch. 22) applies.
Smyrna's zoning code (Appendix A, Article V – General Provisions, §503 Business Structures) restricts signage in residential zones. Home-based businesses may not install commercial signs, banners, or identification devices on the exterior of the residence or on the property. This prohibition maintains the residential character of neighborhoods and is consistent with Smyrna's broader sign ordinance. Business operators working from home should use a P.O. Box or commercial mailbox service address for advertising purposes.
Sign violation: $50 to $250. Removal required within notice period. Daily fines for non-compliance.
