Home occupations may host customer visits at a rate not exceeding typical residential traffic. Detroit Zoning Ordinance recommends no more than 4 client visits per day.
Detroit Zoning Ordinance Section 61-10 limits the traffic impact of home occupations. Customer visits should not materially exceed normal residential patterns. Practical guidance: no more than 4 clients per day, with visits spread throughout the day and not concentrated at a single hour. Parking must be on-site for clients where available; on-street parking is allowed but must not block neighbors. Frequent commercial vehicle traffic or group gatherings constitutes a zoning violation.
Specific penalty amounts for this ordinance are not published in a publicly accessible fine schedule. Contact Detroit code enforcement directly for current fines, enforcement procedures, and hearing options.
