Daytona Beach, FL Home Business: Customer Traffic Restrictions (2026)

13 of the Daytona Beach Land Development Code allows a home based business as an accessory use to any principal dwelling, but subsection a restricts eligible home offices to 'professional and business services that do not involve clients or customers visiting the premises,' which rules out any home-based use built around walk-in customers, such as a salon, retail shop, or in-home consultation practice that brings the public to the door. Subsection j reinforces that restriction from the traffic side: the home business 'shall not generate traffic on a regular basis greater than that customarily generated by the type of residence involved,' so even a business that avoids formal client visits still cannot generate delivery trucks, employee vehicles, or other regular traffic beyond what a typical house on that street would produce.

13: only a resident of the dwelling can work in the business, the business has to stay inside the home in no more than 20 percent of the living area, no products can be stored on the premises, and advertising or phone listings cannot show the residential address. Taken together, the section confines Daytona Beach home businesses to quiet, client-free work such as bookkeeping, consulting, or online sales fulfillment rather than any use that turns the house into a public-facing storefront.
