Full Breakdown
Under the Unified Development Ordinance's accessory-use standards, a home occupation in Victoria may display a maximum of one sign measuring 2 feet by 2 feet, and that sign cannot be illuminated. Temporary signage for a home occupation is prohibited outright: there's no banner, sandwich-board, or seasonal-sign workaround. The rule sits alongside other home occupation limits: the business must stay incidental to the residence, can't exceed 40% of the home's floor area, and can't alter the dwelling's residential exterior appearance.
Violations & Fines
Zoning/code enforcement can require removal of an oversized, illuminated, or temporary sign as a condition of maintaining home occupation status; continued violation risks loss of the home occupation approval.
