Bergen County does not regulate customer traffic at home businesses directly. Municipalities set limits on visits and parking through zoning. The county reviews traffic impacts only for county road access.
Customer traffic at home occupations is regulated by Bergen County's 70 municipalities, which typically cap daily client visits, prohibit non-resident employees, and restrict commercial vehicle parking. The Bergen County Planning Board may review traffic impacts when a property accesses a county road, under N.J.S.A. 40:27-6.6. The county Department of Public Works issues driveway and access permits for county roads. Home businesses generating significant traffic on county routes such as Route 4 or Route 17 corridors may need additional county-level review or signage permits, but routine residential operations remain a municipal matter.
Municipal violations may result in cease-and-desist orders and fines from $250 to $2,000 per occurrence.
