East Brunswick, NJ Home Business: Customer Traffic Restrictions (2026)

Client traffic at a home occupation is controlled by three conditions in the HOME OCCUPATION definition at East Brunswick Township Code § 228-3. Condition 4 sets the evening cutoff: no permitted home occupation may be conducted with members of the public later than 10:00 P.M. Clients, students and customers have to be gone, and business with the public has to be finished, by that hour.

Condition 9 governs trucks and timing. Any deliveries of materials to or from the residence shall be made by either car, station wagon or other six-wheel vehicle or van, and shall only occur during the hours of 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Monday through Saturday. A home occupation in East Brunswick Township therefore cannot take Sunday deliveries or receive freight from a larger commercial truck.

Condition 11 handles parking: customer/client parking shall not interfere with residential parking on the street. The code prints no numeric cap on visits per day. The limit on traffic comes instead from the other conditions, which keep the use clearly incidental and secondary to the dwelling, restrict employees to not more than one person who is not a resident, and bar outside storage and external display of goods.

Subsection C gives the one printed headcount for visitors. A studio of instruction for art, music, dance, ceramics, sculpture or any academic subject qualifies as a home occupation provided there are not more than four non-residents present at any one time. Nursery schools and baby-sitting services permitted as a home occupation under state law are also listed as examples. Subsection B names medical offices, dental offices, clinics, barbershops, beauty parlors, real estate brokers and chiropractor offices as prohibited home occupations, which are the uses that would bring regular streams of clients.
