Tinley Park prohibits signage for home-based businesses. The Village's zoning ordinance requires home occupations to have no exterior evidence of the business, which includes signs of any type. Commercial signs are restricted to commercially-zoned properties under the Tinley Park sign code.
Tinley Park's home occupation regulations require no exterior indication that a business is being conducted on the premises. This prohibition covers all forms of signage including permanent signs, temporary signs, window signs, yard signs, banners, and illuminated signs advertising the home business. Commercial vehicles displaying business lettering should not be visibly stored on the residential property as they may constitute exterior evidence of commercial activity. Tinley Park's broader sign code restricts commercial signage to commercial and office zoning districts along corridors like Oak Park Avenue, 159th Street, and Harlem Avenue. The Village is protective of the residential neighborhood character that defines its subdivisions. Home business operators may advertise online, through mailers, business cards, and other off-site means without violating the home occupation provisions. Vehicles used for the business should be parked in garages when possible.
Displaying signage for a home business violates Tinley Park's zoning ordinance. Code Enforcement at (708) 444-5100 may issue a notice requiring removal. Fines typically begin at $75 per day of continued violation. Repeated violations may jeopardize the ability to continue the home occupation.
