St. Johns County cannot cap your customers just because you work from home. Florida's Home-Based Business Act, Fla. Stat. §559.955, lets a home business receive clients, but limits nonresident employees to two and requires parking and traffic to stay within neutral rules that apply to any residence.
Under Fla. Stat. §559.955 employees who work at the home must live there, except that up to two workers or independent contractors from outside may also work at the business. The Act protects client visits so long as the business stays secondary to residential use and the property, viewed from the street, still looks like its neighbors. St. Johns County may not single out a home business, but its generally applicable rules on on-street parking, traffic, and noise still bind the property. Clients parking off-street on the lot and visits that do not disrupt the neighborhood keep the business inside the Act's protection.
Customer traffic or parking that exceeds what the neighborhood normally bears, or a workforce beyond two nonresident employees, pushes the business past the Act's limits and exposes it to county code enforcement and fines.
