Violations & Fines
The zoning chapter does not set a standalone penalty for exceeding the one-square-foot sign limit, so it falls under the city's general penalty at § 10-99: an unlawful act with no specific penalty listed is a class 2 misdemeanor, punishable by a fine of up to $750, up to five days imprisonment, or both. Each day an oversized or unauthorized sign remains in place counts as a separate offense under § 10-99(E). Code enforcement can also revoke the home occupation's standing if the operator fails to correct a violation identified during an inspection under § 154-15.08(B)(16).
