Customer visits to home occupations in Duval County must not change the residential character of the neighborhood. No retail walk-in traffic; by-appointment only with limited volume.
Ordinance Code §656 home occupation rules require that the business generate no more traffic than normal residential use. Practical enforcement: appointments scheduled sparingly, no simultaneous customers creating parking demand, no deliveries beyond normal residential volumes (no semi-trucks, no daily commercial deliveries). Parking must be on the driveway, not on street or lawn. Activities that generate steady customer flow (salons, tutoring centers with group classes, retail) are generally prohibited as home occupations.
Complaint-driven enforcement: Municipal Code Compliance issues violation for excess traffic/parking; fines $250+ per day if unresolved.
