Full Breakdown
Brick Township allows a home office as an accessory use in residential zones under Township Code § 245-16, but Subsection C caps client and employee visits: no nonresident employees, customers, or business invitees may visit the dwelling for business purposes in numbers that unreasonably disturb neighbors' ability to peacefully enjoy their property. The office is also confined to one room with no separate entrance and no exterior signs or business appearance. Violations of the Land Use chapter are punishable under the Township's general penalty, § 1-15, up to a $2,000 fine, 90 days in jail, or community service, with each day counted as a separate offense.
Violations & Fines
Exceeding the customer/employee limit voids the home office's status as a permitted accessory use; violations of Chapter 245 carry up to a $2,000 fine, 90 days imprisonment, or community service under § 1-15, with each day a separate offense.
