Macomb County communities generally prohibit signs and any outward advertising of a home occupation. Macomb Township is explicit: no indoor or outdoor advertising is permitted and there must be no visible evidence of the business from outside the home.
Sign rules for home businesses are set by each city and township, not by Macomb County. The common Michigan approach bars any sign or outward advertising for a home occupation so the residence keeps its residential appearance. Macomb Township Zoning Ordinance Sec. 10.0320 imposes two controlling conditions: subsection C requires no change in outside appearance or other visible evidence of the business, and subsection H prohibits all indoor or outdoor advertising. Together these bar a yard sign, window sign, or exterior lettering. General (non-home-occupation) signage falls under the township's separate sign provisions and needs its own permit. Confirm the exact rule with your own city or township building/zoning department before posting anything.
Posting a prohibited home-occupation sign or advertising the business at a residence is a zoning violation enforced by the local municipality, which may issue a municipal civil infraction citation, order the sign removed, and impose fines.
