Mobile County places no limit on customers or client visits to a home business in unincorporated areas. There is no county cap on daily visitors, parking, or deliveries. Deed restrictions and a county driveway-access permit are the only real constraints.
The county cannot zone, so it sets no ceiling on the number of clients, employees, or vehicle trips a home business generates, and nothing in county rules limits customer parking on your property. A new or widened driveway connecting to a county-maintained road requires an access permit from Mobile County Public Works, but that governs drainage and traffic safety, not business volume. HOA deed restrictions commonly bar commercial traffic and on-street parking and are enforced privately in civil court. Property inside a city follows that city's home-occupation traffic rules.
The county issues no citations for customer traffic. Neighbors or an HOA enforce deed restrictions in civil court, and obstructing a county road can draw a separate traffic or nuisance action.
