Riverside County Ordinance 348 zoning prohibits commercial auto repair as a home business. Residents may perform incidental repairs on personal vehicles, but operating a paid auto-repair business from a residential property is not allowed.
Ordinance 348 restricts home occupations to activities that do not generate customer traffic, employ outside workers, store commercial inventory, or alter the residential character of the property. Auto repair conducted as a business, including paid mechanical work, body work, painting, or sales of repaired vehicles, is not a permitted home occupation in residential zones. Residents may repair their own vehicles incidentally, provided fluids are managed under stormwater rules and noise stays within Ordinance 547 limits. Commercial auto repair requires a Bureau of Automotive Repair license and proper commercial zoning.
Unpermitted home auto-repair business triggers Code Enforcement action under Ordinance 590 with $100 to $1,000 administrative citations and possible abatement of stored vehicles or parts.
