Harris County has no restrictions on customer traffic for home-based businesses in unincorporated areas. Texas counties lack zoning authority. Deed restrictions commonly limit commercial traffic, customer visits, and employee presence in residential subdivisions.
Harris County cannot restrict customer traffic or commercial activity at home-based businesses in unincorporated areas because the county lacks zoning authority. There are no county limits on daily customers, deliveries, or employees. However, deed restrictions in master-planned communities commonly restrict or prohibit commercial traffic, customer visits, and visible business operations. HOA enforcement can include fines for commercial activity that violates CC&Rs. If customer traffic causes road damage or safety concerns, Harris County Precinct offices may address road conditions. State traffic law applies to all vehicles on county roads regardless of their business purpose.
No county customer traffic violations. Deed restriction violations: civil enforcement, up to $200/day. Road safety issues: TX Transportation Code.
