Dunedin's home occupation rules limit customer visits, deliveries, and on-site employees to preserve residential neighborhoods. Activities cannot generate traffic, parking, or noise impacts beyond what is typical for a single-family home.
Under Chapter 103, a Dunedin home occupation must remain incidental to the residential use of the property. The code limits non-resident employees and restricts client and customer visits to ensure traffic and parking patterns remain consistent with the surrounding residential neighborhood. On-street parking that conflicts with normal residential conditions is not allowed. Commercial deliveries by tractor-trailers or large step vans are prohibited; only deliveries normally associated with residential uses (UPS, FedEx, USPS) are permitted. The activity must not create excess traffic, noise, glare, or odors detectable from off-site, and any deviation from these standards may result in revocation of the right to operate.
Code enforcement may issue daily fines, require traffic and parking impacts to cease, and revoke the home occupation if violations continue or escalate.
