Bolingbrook's home occupation provisions (Chapter 54, Article V) restrict activities that would create commercial traffic or alter the residential character of the neighborhood. Standard Illinois home occupation rules limit customer visits, prohibit on-site non-resident employees, and restrict outdoor storage of business materials.
Bolingbrook's home occupation regulations strictly control customer and client traffic to maintain residential neighborhood character. Most permits prohibit walk-in retail traffic entirely. Professional service businesses (attorneys, therapists, consultants) may receive clients by appointment only, typically limited to 1-2 visitors per day. Deliveries must be limited to what is normal for a residence — no commercial truck deliveries or frequent courier pickups. Home businesses that generate traffic patterns distinguishable from normal residential activity may have their permits revoked. All client parking must be accommodated on-site or on the street without impacting neighbors.
Excessive customer traffic is grounds for permit revocation. Warnings are issued first, followed by fines of $200–$500. Continued violations result in permit cancellation and a one-year cooling period before reapplication.
