Cheyenne allows up to three client visits a day at a home occupation before extra off-street parking kicks in, and bars the business outright if that parking would change the neighborhood's character.

Additional off-street parking may be required for the home occupation business if more than three clients per day are expected to visit the business. No additional parking

Full Breakdown

Under UDC Section 5.7.2(c), a home occupation running in a residential district can draw up to three client visits per day without triggering extra parking requirements. Beyond that, the Planning and Development Department may require additional off-street parking, which cannot sit in the front yard setback (or side yard setback on a corner lot). If the added parking needed to serve more clients would alter the neighborhood's character, the home occupation is prohibited at that location. Businesses that keep all client contact off-site can instead qualify for the office-only allowance, which permits zero on-site clients.

Violations & Fines

No stated fine in this section; violations are handled as zoning code enforcement by Planning and Development, which can require registration changes, added parking, or revoke home occupation approval.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many clients can visit my Cheyenne home business per day?
Up to three clients daily without extra parking. Beyond three, the city can require additional off-street parking, and if that parking would alter the neighborhood's character, the home occupation is prohibited.
Can I run a home business in Cheyenne with no clients visiting?
Yes. The UDC's office-only allowance lets you use a home strictly for administrative work like scheduling or bookkeeping, provided no clients, customers, or employees visit the property.
