Full Breakdown

Under the zoning code's home occupation standards, a home business may not generate customer-related vehicular traffic in excess of three vehicle trips per 24-hour day in the residential neighborhood. The same section bars direct selling of merchandise on the premises (though direct marketing, such as phone or online sales, is allowed), requires the business to stay entirely inside the dwelling or a single accessory garage, and forbids visible storage of equipment or materials from the right-of-way.

Violations & Fines

Home occupations that exceed the three-trip cap or add customer-facing retail activity lose their accessory-use status under § 11.02.092(30) and can be cited as a zoning violation; excluded businesses in the same subsection (e.g., animal boarding, massage therapy, vehicle repair) are barred outright regardless of trip count.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can clients visit my Cedar Park home business?
Only if total customer-related traffic stays under three vehicle trips per day; the code doesn't set a per-visit cap, just this daily traffic ceiling.
Can I sell products directly from my house?
No: direct selling of merchandise on the premises is barred, though direct marketing (phone, mail, online) is allowed under the same subsection.
