Spokane Valley, WA Home Business: Signage Rules (2026)

180(A)(2), the supplemental use regulations applying to every permitted home business in Spokane Valley. The rule is narrow on three fronts: the sign must be unlighted, ruling out internally or externally illuminated signs, neon, or backlit panels; it must be placed flush against the exterior wall of the primary structure, ruling out freestanding yard signs, pole signs, sandwich boards, or anything mounted on an accessory structure or fence; and it is capped at four square feet in area, a small allowance compared to the commercial sign standards elsewhere in the City's sign code.

180(A)(2)(f), reinforcing that the exterior visual footprint of a home business is meant to stay minimal. 180(A)(1)(d) has to forgo signage entirely, since that exemption requires there be no signs or window displays on the property related to the business at all; the four-square-foot flush sign is only available to operators who obtain the standard home business permit rather than the fee-exempt version.
