Home occupations cannot display commercial signage — no yard signs, window signs, or lighted advertising visible from the street.
SJMC Title 17 home occupation standards expressly prohibit exterior signs, window signs, and any advertising display visible from outside the dwelling. Only a standard residential address number is allowed. Vehicles used for the home business with painted lettering or wraps must be parked in a garage or otherwise screened if prominently displayed. This reflects Utah's typical approach that home occupations must not alter the residential character of the neighborhood. Violations are handled as zoning infractions — typically a warning followed by citation and possible revocation of the home occupation permit.
