Home occupations in St. Michael are limited to discrete signage under Sec. 155.084 (Signs Allowed Without a Permit) and the home-occupation conditions in Chapter 155. The business must not externally change the residential character of the property.
Sec. 155.084 lists signs allowed without a permit in all districts — typically including small address plates, name plates, and incidental signs of limited area (often 2 sq ft max for residential). Commercial-style signage on a home is prohibited by the home-occupation rules; window signs, flashing signs, and signs on detached structures are not allowed for a permitted home business. The Planning Department reviews any proposed sign as part of the Home Occupation Permit. A sign permit under the broader sign chapter is required for anything beyond the permit-free categories.
Installing an unpermitted commercial sign at a home is a zoning misdemeanor under Sec. 10.99 — up to $1,000 fine / 90 days. The city may order removal.
