Westerville prohibits signs advertising home occupations on residential properties. Codified Ordinance 1163.04 requires home businesses to have no external evidence of the business including signs, displays, or lighting.
Westerville Zoning and Sign Codes (Chapters 1163 and 1175) ban all advertising signage for home occupations in residential zones. The business must be invisible from the exterior. Temporary real estate, political, and garage sale signs are allowed under separate rules. Commercial vehicles with company lettering parked at the home must follow commercial vehicle parking rules (generally prohibited in residential zones for vehicles over 3/4 ton).
Illegal signs: 250 to 500 dollars fine plus removal order. Repeat violations may trigger cessation order for the home occupation.
